I was really nervous about attending the clinic today for my coil fitting. I turned up feeling upset and anxious. I told the staff member how I felt and they didn’t really try to make me feel at ease.
Unfortunately I couldn’t have my coil fitted because I had unprotected sex two weeks prior to this appointment. They seemed very annoyed at me and asked me if I wanted to have a baby. I explained that of course, I didn’t want a baby, otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen to go on the coil, it was just an in the moment thing and I didn’t think of the consequences of not being able to get the coil.
I really didn’t warm to the member of staff. I felt like from the get go they weren't very welcoming, which I was nervous about as it is. I’m kind of glad I didn’t get the coil fitted, as I wouldn’t have felt very relaxed for the procedure. Unfortunately I will be requesting someone else in the practise to do the procedure or I will be going elsewhere as, like I said, I did not feel welcome and at ease with this person.
