— Bring IUD that you have purchased from the pharmacy
— Take some painkillers (e.g Nurofen or Paracetamol) about one hour prior to the appointment
— Consider having someone care for your children and to accompany you home
— Arrive well hydrated and ensure you have eaten recently to promote better recovery
