So, off I trot to see the gynaecologist this morning expecting to have my existing coil removed & a new one fitted...

No such luck. New government guidelines mean that the gynaecologist is NOT ALLOWED to do the procedure, all he can do is refer me to a Family Planning Clinic in the next town. So, I now have to wait for another appointment there.
Effing ridiculous!

It's poor Mr Aitch who I feel sorry for, bless 'im. He's already suffered 5 doses of my monthly madness and now has to suffer more. I wouldnt be surprised if he walks...
