Advice & Guidance - Pregnancy & Contraception

Coils and Implants are usually fitted as a 2 stage procedure. At the first visit your medical history and suitability for the method will be assessed and then a mutually agreeable date for fitting will be arranged.

This can be done by attending:
- your local sexual health/family planning clinic,
- your GP (for fitting or referral to specialist services)

Common Terms

  • Coils: Interuterine device: T-shaped device that is fitted inside the womb to prevent pregnancy
  • Implants: contraceptive that is fitted under the skin of the arm (LARC)
