ask dr. about iud before office visit?
| Thu, 09-02-2004 - 1:46pm |
in the interest of saving myself potentially many $30 copays, i was wondering if i could just ask the nurse at the gyn office if the dr. would be willing to approve an iud for a patient who has never had a child? i have recently relocated and don't have a gyn in my area, so i need to find a new one anyway.
thanks!

I had a consultation with my doctor first and I am glad I did. We talked about the two different IUDs and which would be better for me. She went over the procedure and what to expect, answered all my questions (which I always prefer in person vs over the phone). I was very much as ease when I went back to have it put in when my period started. My doctor would have put it in that day if I was on my period. If you want to reduce the number of copays you could try to schedule your appt on your period, that might help.
Good Luck I hope you like your IUD as much as I like mine.
I was very lucky that my doctor had no trouble with my decision. She agreed that the chances are very small of bad things happening and had done many succesful IUDs. I am so happy with my IUD. Good Luck
