Merena Coil Insertion Difficulties Postpartum: Understanding Potential Issues

Question
I recently went to have the Merena Coil fitted having given birth 16 weeks ago and my doctor stated she couldn't get it in and didn't wish to force the issue. She has advised me to have a scan to see if there are any problems however hasn't stated what problems there may be, can you advise of what could be wrong

Answer
I'm really surprised that your doctor would not explain more about why this was happening. You should always ask questions until you get the answers that make you feel comfortable.

I do not recommend the mirena coil because of issues with side effects and risks. I would recommend a non-hormonal birth control method if needed. Why don't you email me at DWooley97@aol.com and we can talk more by email?

Sincerely,
