Coil Fitting

This is a true story of my wife's appointment to have a Mirena Coil fitted.

My wife and I arrived at the hospital with about 10minutes to spare before our appointment, we booked in at reception and went through to the waiting area, the waiting area is set out as a large square with seats around the edges, so everyone was facing towards each other, there were two younger girls, looking nervous and filling out forms on clipboards, every now and again they'd point something out on the form and giggle, a few other couples and a lady in her early 40's who was reading a book, everytime the nurse came into the waiting area everyone seemed to stop what they were doing and looked up expectantly, you could see the thought "my turn?" running through their minds.

The doctor came out and called my wife's name "Helen do you want to come through?"

Helen grasped my hand "Come on " and together we walked towards the consulting room, as we walked in the doctor was sat at his desk in the corner of the room, there were two chairs next to the desk and a curtain was drawn across, dividing the room in two. The curtain stopped short of the floor by about 6" and through this gap we could see a yellow plastic bucket lined with a plastic bag, and the wheels of a stainless steel hospital trolley, I knew this would contain all the equipment that was required to fit Helen's coil, and my heart fluttered a bit at the thought.

We sat down and the doctor introduced himself, " you'd like a coil fitted today then?" he asked, Helen explained that our baby was two months old and that she'd like a Mirena coil fitted, rather than a copper device, she explained that we didn't want any more children, (one of each is more than enough LOL) and that she suffers from heavy and painful periods, she also explained that the copper device she had fitted last time made the periods even heavier and she found herself passing a lot of clots.

The doctor agreed to fit a Mirena for Helen. He stood up and pulled back the curtain to reveal an examination couch, there was an Exam light on a floor stand and the trolley withe a Mirena in it's packet, and a surgical tray wrapped in blue paper. "I'll just pop out and get the nurse" he told us, turned and left the room, Helen looked at me and grinned "Here we go then" and gave me a quick kiss, I could already feel myself starting to stir at the thought of what I was about to witness and I quickly fought to control the feelings.I quickly grabbed my mobile phone from my pocket and took a picture of the couch and light. Helen undressed, taking her jeans and folding them neatly on the chair, next she slid off her underwear and placed them on top of her folded jeans, the doctor had given her a piece of blue tissue to protect her modesty which was about a foot square. I'm never sure why they do this, after all, the only people in the room are the doctor and nurse, who are both intently looking into her wide open vagina, and me, and I'm married to her and see everything all the time!!

Helen climbed onto the couch and sat with her legs up to her chest, she looked at me " No leg holders this time, that's a shame" When she had her last coil fitted at the same hospital the exam table she was on had knee rests, and afterwards I had to tell her how turned on I was by that, up until that point I'd only ever see her in the frog position.

I quickly took another photo whilst Helen was waiting, and managed to put the phone away seconds before the doctor and nurse came back in!

The nurse wheeled the trolley over next to the end of the couch, and started to open the surgical tray, once it was opened I could see a Cuscoe speculum, a small pot with cotton wool in, the uterine sound that they would use to measure the length of Helens uterus, a pair of scissors and a pair of Vesselum forceps for gripping the neck of the cervix and a pair of sponge holders.

As the doctor was pulling on a non sterile pair of nitrile examination gloves the nurse poured some saline from a sterile packet into the dish, ready to wash Helen's vaginal vault and around her cervix. He held out two fingers and the nurse applied some lubricating jelly to his two extended fingers, " Helen, I'm just going to check the position, size and shape of your uterus" Helen drew her knees up, her feet together, and allowed her legs to fall open, exposing herself to him, and with that he gently slid his two fingers into her vagina, I was stood at Helen's head and could see him work his fingers right inside until he couldn't enter her any more, as he pressed upwards with his two fingers of his right hand, he palpitated Helen's abdomen with his left hand, I could see the shape of the top of her uterus as he pressed down on her.Helen gave a barely perceptible sigh and squeezed my hand, I looked at her and she gave me a little smile. She later told me that she didn't think that any lubricant was actually needed!

"That seems fine" and with that he slid his fingers out of her vagina, took off his gloves and threw then in a pedal bin at the foot of the couch. "I'm just going to wash my hands" as her turned he flicked on the light and Helen's genitals were bathed in a bright white light. I stepped slightly towards the end of the couch and could see the remainder of the lubricating gel glistening on her full lips. The doctor came back into the exam area dried his hands on a sterile towel and pulled on a pair of sterile surgical gloves "OK then, I'm going to dilate you with the speculum so I can see you cervix" and he slid the speculum gently into Helen's vagina, he used no lubricant, what was left of the gel, and Helen's natural lubrication must have been enough. Helen winced a tiny bit as the speculum was opened wide and locked, she always has hated the sound of the screw as it tightens to lock her vaginal walls open, allowing the doctor to see her most intimate area.

The doctor picked up a piece of cotton wool with the sponge holders and dipped it into the saline in the pot "I'm going to give you a quick clean before I go any further" As he passed the sponge holders through the open speculum there was a faint clunk of metal hitting metal as the two instruments knocked together. Helen grimaced at me! It's funny but it's not the feelings but the sounds that she really hates.

Having thoroughly cleaned Helen's cervix the doctor picked up the Vesselum forceps, he lifted them into Helen's view, "I'm going to attach these to your cervix, they allow me to stabilise the uterus as I pass instruments through the OS"

Helen gripped my hand, "you may feel some cramping now" and with that he clamped the handles together, there was an audible click as the ratchet device locked them firmly together and Helen shifted her hips slightly in response to the cramping pains that she felt.

At this point the Doctor turned to the Nurse and asked her to go to reception to book a 6 week follow up appointment for Helen, normally the nurse would stay in the room, but the doctor was a aware that I was a healthcare provider myself and bent the rules a little to speed things up.

He picked up the uterine sound and pumped up the couch up a bit higher "Sorry, not going to break my back crouching down to get to you" he looked at me " Could you come round and adjust the light please" Helen looked a me, winked a and smiled, knowing full well that the doctor had just made my dreams come true!

I walked behind the doctor and adjusted the light so Helen's glistening OS was fully illuminated, before I could walk back he introduced the uterine sound through the os and into the uterus, the os stretched as the rounded tip of the sound entered and pushed through into her uterus, then gently closed around the shaft of the instrument as it slid deeper inter her, what an amazing sight, I could have stayed there all day. The doctor withdrew the sound, again the os stretched to allow the rounded tip to pass, but stayed slightly dilated, almost as if it was waiting for the coil to be introduced.

I walked back and stood next to Helen's head, she turned to me fixing her eyes on my genitals hidden by my shirt and grinned, knowing full well what was hidden there!

The doctor picked up the Coil in it's introducer and gently slid it into Helen " Nearly finished, worst bits over with" not realising that we were both quite enjoying the experience, he pressed the plunger on the introducer and withdrew it, placing back in the instrument tray, I could see the tip had a thin coating of blood on it, picked up the scissors and trimmed the strings of the device, taking scissors, string and speculum out in one movement.

"All done, you can get dressed again" he told Helen and disappeared back behind the curtain, Helen sat on the couch and placed a pad into her panties to soak up any bleeding she may experience, pulled them on and picked up her jeans, she slid them on, wiggling her hips at me as she pulled them up, popped hershoes on and we went back and sat next to the Doctor.

By this time the nurse had come back in with our follow up appointment, and this was given to us, together with a card saying the device needed changing in 2013, and a bleeding chart for Helen to fill out over the next three weeks, and that was it,appointment finished for 5 years, depressing really, neither of us want to wait that long, and playing isn't quite the same!

I tried to upload the pics last night but they are to big and the site won't accept them 😢 If anyone could compress the files for me then i'd be happy to post them.

The pics have been sent to a member who has offered to compress them for me, they'll be posted as soon as I get them back.

I'll let you all know when it's done, thank you all for your positive responses.

Dr Drew

Wow..great experience !! you're lucky to have a partner excited with you, and wanting to share experiences like that.

I've posted the pic of Helen waiting, the second pic is still to large, I will post it as soon as I can.

A very exciting story Dr.Drew, I am glad both you and your wife got to enjoy it together.

That was a great story, my wife would probably not let me go with her

Makes me want to go get one fitted even tho i'm gay!

This is a true story without embellishment. There is certainly potential for writing a partially fantasised version and I might try that someday but this time I'm sticking to real events. Apologies if that makes it a bit tame. At the time it wasn't a particularly arousing experience, not least because the procedure caused my wife significant pain. However the images stuck clearly in my mind and have been relived several times since!

Our second child had been born and my wife Jane needed to go onto contraceptives. Previously she had used various pills but none of them had been ideal. After having some time off the pill while trying to get pregnant we were pretty sure that the pill had been suppressing Jane's sex drive. The pill probably also caused some weight gain but Jane is quite slim anyway so the loss of sex drive was our main concern. After a bit of research we decided to try a Mirena IUD/Coil. After picking it up in a sealed package up from the chemist we both went to her doctor's appointment for the fitting.

I had only once before accompanied Jane to a gynaecological exam but frustratingly I had been left on the outside of the curtain that time and hadn't seen anything. I was determined to make sure that didn't happen again and Jane happily backed me. She was more than a little apprehensive I think. So when the female Doctor pulled the curtain around the bed and ushered Jane within I went to. Jane was instructed to remove her trousers and knickers and lie on the bed. She carefully lowered her pants and folded them over a chair back. Her knickers followed, and I felt the first twinges of excitement as I watched her bend over to pick them up off the floor. It was a view I always enjoyed, her bottom sticking out towards me with wisps of curly dark hair and the outline of her vulva lips peaking out between her thighs. Having Jane's bottom and pussy exposed in preparation for someone else, even a woman, intimately examining her, took it to another whole level. I think only having Jane's lower half exposed increased the anticipation even more than if she had been fully naked. It emphasised that the focus of the next few minutes was going to be entirely on her private parts and she was disrobing purely for that purpose.

Jane climbed onto the bed and lay on her back, her bare legs together and her curly pubic mound prominently visible below her shirt. I stood beside her at the upper half of the bed. The Doctor came in and laid a towel across her hips. I silently cursed as I realised my view would be restricted but I was trying to disguise my intense interest in proceedings so I said nothing. "OK Jane, pull your legs up towards you, feet together and then just let your knees fall apart.". Jane did as instructed, her knees not quite touching the surface of the bed but her thighs nonetheless splayed wide. Her legs now formed a diamond with her feet at one apex and her crotch at the other. The Doctor adjusted the towel slightly, pushing it up to reveal more of her spread thighs. The Doctor turned on the light and swivelled the arm so that it shined between her thighs. I knew she could now see Jane's exposed pussy but frustratingly I couldn't. However by leaning slightly sideward I could see some curls peaking past the edge of the towel so I knew I was close.

The Doctor reached a packet of a shelf and ripped the bag to extract a plastic speculum. I was somewhat surprised that she didn't appear to put any lubrication on the blades before bending over and reaching between Jane's legs. Her left hand was placed against her crotch, presumably spreading her labia, while the speculum was inserted by her right hand. There was a faint clicking noise as the speculum was opened, the Doctor peering intently at Jane's groin as she did so. I think I subconsciously expected some sort of reaction from Jane at the intrusion but was disappointed, perhaps a faint sigh was all I noticed. She did have a somewhat distant look though, her attention obviously directed inwards, even when she gave me a little half smile.

The Doctor withdrew to remove the wrapping from the Mirena at the foot of the bed. I decided to lean sideways for a peak and was rewarded with a glimpse of the plastic mouth and handle of the speculum jutting out of Jane's curls by perhaps a half an inch. I couldn't see much else. The breadth of the open speculum held her outer lips apart to reveal a strip of pale pink flesh, her clitoral hood and the join of her labia, above the speculum. The speculum had been inserted at an angle and wasn't fully vertical. Through the plastic I fancied I could just see the ribbed pink wall of her vagina illuminated by the bright light.

The Doctor returned with what looked to my eyes like needle nosed pliers. She told Jane "I need to hold the cervix in place before I can insert the Mirena. This will probably be a bit uncomfortable, particularly at first.". Looking at the instrument I found myself thinking that was the understatement of the century! Glancing at Jane I could see she shared the reservations but she continued to lie there as the Doctor reached between her legs with what I have since learnt was a tenaculum. Jane gritted her teeth and let out a small grunt as it was attached. She reached out and took my hand, obviously wanting some support. The Doctor looked up, "Sorry about that, it should calm down a little". Jane didn't look that convinced by she nodded slightly "Yeah, a little. It just aches a bit now.". Leaning slightly I could see the thin metal handle of the tenaculum extended out of the speculum and had been left to rest on the plastic rim.

The Doctor took a plastic rod from the Mirena package. It had a cross piece on it which she slid along the rod towards the tip. "I need to check the size of your uterus and make sure there is enough room for the Mirena.". Jane muttered an "OK" but the Doctor was already peering between her legs again and inserting the rod within. A couple of seconds passed as the Doctor peered within and then her hand pushed the rod forward. Jane shifted uncomfortably and I saw a grimace cross her face but she said nothing. I could see the doctor's hand holding the rod and the rod disappearing beneath the towel but little else. It was fairly obvious though that the rod had passed through her cervix and entered her womb. Despite being concerned at Jane's discomfort and determined to fulfil my role of providing support I couldn't help but feel a tingle in my groin at the way Jane's legs were splayed apart, her vagina held wide open, her cervix trapped in place and then the os of her cervix physically penetrated for the first time (in that direction anyway - I guess giving birth counts!)

It couldn't have been more than a couple of seconds before the rod was withdrawn. I could see that the cross piece was now a quarter of the way down from the tip of the rod. The length beyond the cross piece, some two and a half inches, was the depth of Jane's womb and how far the rod had penetrated past her cervix. The Doctor reached for another piece out of the Mirena package, a more complex contraption formed of several parts. She measured it off against the first rod, adjusting another slider on a bigger tube, then pulling the strings which ran within the tube until she was satisfied and hooked them into a notch in the broad handle.

"I'll insert the Mirena now." and with that the Doctor directed the tube into the opening of the speculum. A second later Jane's whole body tensed up and she squeezed my hand "Ouch, ow, that hurts" Jane exclaimed, as she seemed to try to pull herself away from the intrusion, her knees instinctively rising. "It's in now, just give me a moment" the Doctor replied still peering into Jane's vagina. She flicked something on the handle of the instrument and then eased the tube further forward to Jane's continued discomfort. "There it's in." as the Doctor adjusted the handle again and then withdrew it, leaving the two strings dangling out of the speculum.

"It still hurts, it hurts down my leg." Jane complained. I was rather concerned at this point, worried that something had gone wrong. The Doctor explained that the cervix and uterus have quite a lot of nerves and are not used to being touched. As she talked she withdrew the tenaculum and then introduced some scissors into the speculum instead to cut the strings. With Jane still in pain the Doctor released the speculum and quickly slid it out. Just as quickly she muttered "Sorry, but I need to check it is in the right place." and with practiced ease pushed two gloved fingers into Jane's still open vaginal entrance. She slid them in deep, her hand pressed hard against her vulva, while her other hand felt her lower abdomen. When this didn't produce any increase in Jane's pain she withdrew them saying "It's in correctly. What you are feeling will be the result of cramping. It should lessen as your body adjusts and in the meantime take Panadol to help."

While she talked I noticed the speculum lying on the bed. Streaks of blood ran along one of the wet blades. As the Doctor pulled her glove off I could see blood on the fingers which had been inside Jane. The Doctor noticed my glance and said "You're bleeding a bit too, again that should settle down but you may have spotting on and off for a few weeks.".

Jane was still in pain, mainly down her leg which was something she experienced after giving birth too. We asked a few more questions, were given a pad for Jane to put in her knickers to catch the bleeding, some Panadol and water for Jane to drink and left.

Jane had pain in her lower abdomen and leg, plus bleeding, off and on for a couple of weeks but sure enough it did lessen as time went on. We're very happy with it now, as a contraceptive it appears to be causing Jane far less side effects than the pill did and in particular it doesn't seem to have any impact on her sex drive. However I know Jane isn't looking forward to ever having it replaced!

Great story DrDrew... inspired me to write up the story of my wife's Mirena fitting (posted now in this same forum).

DrGynz, Great story told exactly how it happend..there was no need to embellish it.I can tell you have a good eye for detail.

Well written. Plenty detail, glad you both enjoyed it, just the way it should be.

Well written and in my experience accurate.

The embarrassing bodies series is back and seems to have at least one vaginal examination per episode.I haven't managed to watch them all properly but there seems to be a young woman fitted with coil to control menstrual bleeding.It would be great if someone could capture it and post it here please as I might not get to see it before it expires thanks.Smith

It starts at 44 minutes and is not explicit but I enjoyed watching it and would be great if someone could capture and post it please.Smith

What a great article thank you hope your wife is ok

Not to resurrect a dead thread but this is still one of those things that I would be so nervous about getting, I'm so squirmy I can't imagine having to sit still through the pain without something falling out and having to start again.

Very well written a superb account for a coil fitting. My wife had a similar experience hope Helen is ok and no cramps .
