Suggested improvements
I came to have the coil removed after experiencing low mood and pain and I felt he didn't really listen to me, kept trying to convince me to have the copper coil (I don't want this because of my heavy periods which I explained). I just didn't feel very listened to and felt like he was just trying to get me to have another form of hormonal contraception; I have tried the pill, injection and coil and all have made me feel awful. When inserting the speculum it felt dry and I'm not sure if he put any or just not much lube on it but it felt really dry and uncomfortable. There was a couple problems with getting it out at first as he couldn't find the strings but eventually it came out. Overall, I think his bedside manner could have been better and made me feel listened to.
