** Tip from Marie Stopes Australia Staff: "Many people are inclined to get their IUD with their GP, however we strongly recommend that they do with a proceduralist, like Marie Stopes Australia. Many GPs haven’t performed an insertion at all, or don’t perform them regularly and this makes the risk of perforation or other side effects much higher. A proceduralist, like Marie Stopes or Family Planning are people who specialise in doing the insertion and removal of contraception and might perform it up to 10 times a day, so they are going to be much more skilled at minimising pain and the risk of side effects."
