Reception: Clarendon Lodge Coil Form
Coil insertion/replacement form
This form is for Clarendon Lodge patients only. If you are a patient at another practice and would like to request a fitting please contact your own practice initially.
Long-acting contraception can provide a safe and effective method of contraception.
There are two main groups of of coil:
- The hormonal coil (an intrauterine system, or an IUS for short)
- And the non hormonal coil (an intra-uterine device, or IUD for short)
The hormonal coil (IUS) can be used for contraception and also as part of hormone replacement therapy. There are now several types availabe - these vary in amount of hormone released, size and length of time that contraceptive cover is provided. Only the Mirena coil can be used as part of HRT.
At CLMP we are able to fit three different types of hormonal coil. Please state on the form which coil you would like to have fitted
Mirena - this coil can be used for 6 years if fitted at less than 45 yrs of age and 10 years if fitted over 45 years UNLESS it is being used as part of HRT (in which case it must be replaced every FIVE years)
Kyleena - this coil can be used for 5 years and is smaller than the Mirena and contains a slightly lower hormone content
Jaydess - this coil can be used for 3 years and is the same size as a Kyleena but has an even lower hormone content.
The non-hormonal coil (IUD) can only be used for contraception.
The NHS UK and sexwise websites contain more information about the differences between the non-hormonal and hormonal coils.
If you are considering using a coil or would like to have a current coil replaced replaced please:
Please fill in as much information as possible to help us arrange your appointment efficiently.
Some of this information will already be included in your medical notes but this is a good opportunity to update any changes.

Appointment details
If you would like a hormonal coil for contraception and have a preference relating to the type please also include these details here
It is unsafe to fit a coil if there is a risk of pregnancy. For this reason it is essential that you are reliably using contraception or abstaining from sex for 3 weeks prior to your appointment. If you are having a coil (which is in date)replaced you should use alternative contraception or abstain from sex for 7 days before the appointment. This is to avoid pregnancy if there difficulty in fitting the replacement coil.
Further information
Not everyone has a regular cycle. If you do not know the exact date please select the closest possible or leave this question blank
There is a higher risk of complications when fitting a coil if you are within 12 weeks of giving birth. If you have recently had a baby ideally we would suggest using alternative contraception until you are 12 weeks post natal and we will arrange your appointment for after this time period
