Knew I was meant to ring somewhere before they closed - and it was Family Planning to find out when the best time of my cycle is to get my IUD removed! So, can anyone tell me?? I have a copper IUD - I know it was best to get it inserted in the few days after my period finished, and am wondering if it's the same for removal? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I just had mine removed 4 months ago, they say you can actually get it removed at any time however apparently it is easier when you have AF. 
Apparently your cervix is softer at this time. I however ended up just getting mine removed at my GP not on my AF, with no problems. -------------  Angel Babies Nov 09, May 10, Dec 10

I got mine removed mid cycle, about 3 days before O but I too have heard its best during af but that grossed me out  -------------

I had mine removed during a period, family planning wont usually book you in for it till you are having it as your cervix is softer at this time makes removal 'easier' or something
ohh and going through family planning is so much cheaper! only cost me $5 but if I was to go through my doctors it was going to cost $45! |
