Posting costs

We have a contract with all health insurers and can claim directly with most insurers. If this is not the case, you will receive an invoice yourself and you can submit it to the insurer. 

Spiral Placement

You can make an appointment with us for spiral placement. We take care of ordering the spiral. You pay for this in advance via a link that you receive via the contraceptive portal. A number of insurance policies also reimburse the spiral. This depends on the insurance and package. Please contact the insurer for this. You can then subsequently declare the invoice for the spiral to the health insurer.  Make sure you know you are not pregnant and do not have STD. If this is not the case, please contact us first.

The appointment takes about 30 minutes. We start with an internal examination to check the position and size of your uterus. Then we place the IUD, which only takes a few minutes. The placement can be sensitive, so we advise you to take two paracetamol tablets (a 500 mg) or one ibuprofen (a 600 mg) about an hour in advance.

An IUD can be placed from 10 to 12 weeks after delivery.

If you have never given birth, we prefer to place the IUD during your period because your cervix is then slightly open. This makes installation easier. In addition, we then know that there is no pregnancy at that time.

It is normal to experience abdominal cramps or a nagging feeling in the lower abdomen after a spiral insertion. This is usually short-lived. In addition, you may experience irregular and/or extra blood loss and abdominal cramps during the first three months after placement.

Pain relief spiral placement

Having a spiral installed can be exciting. We therefore take our time, we explain everything calmly and you set the pace. We do everything we can to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

To make the placement more pleasant, we work with Carevix. This is an innovative alternative to traditional hook-on pliers. Instead of clamping with hooks, Carevix uses a gentle vacuum to hold the cervix in place. As a result, women experience less pain and there is less chance of blood loss.

Unfortunately, the costs for a Carevix are not yet reimbursed by health insurance.

Do you want to know if Carevix suits you? Ask about it during your contraceptive consultation or contact us.

Follow-up

After the placement, an appointment is made for a follow-up check, which takes place six weeks after the placement or after at least one menstrual period.

Please contact us if you have any questions or encounter any problems.

Remove spiral

If you want to have your IUD removed, you can also contact us. This is also reimbursed by the above insurers. After removing the IUD you are immediately fertile again.
