You need to rest.

So go to your appointment, take the IED with you.

If you go to a clinic that does them fairly regularly, it should be set up in a nice room.

You'll have stirrups, whatever.

If you're getting the green whistle, they will give that to you immediately.

kind of just before they start the procedure so that you can, you know, kind of get it into your system.

And the green whistle is like, it makes you feel a bit woozy and kind of like out of body type experience.

Good for pain relief.

They use it a lot in the emergency department, like for people in pain.

So that could make you feel a bit woozy.

If you're using something else, there's like sprays and creams and stuff they can apply to the cervix.

They'll do that.

Some clinicians advise that you take some pain relief, like

Neurofen or Panadol a few hours before.

So make sure you do that.

And then, yeah, they'll, you know, ask you to undress and you'll get up on the bed, up into the stirrups and then they'll commence doing it.

There's a few little different instruments that they need to use.

They need to stabilise the cervix, measure, making sure they get the marina in the uterus in the right spot and then they need to cut the strings.

It's relatively quick.

It's only around five to ten minutes.
