Getting a coil fitted on the NHS can mean a wait of weeks or months, a practice that does not offer it, or being sent to a clinic on the other side of Fife on a day that does not suit.
We fit coils privately at our Dunfermline clinic. Dr Emily Arthurs — our female GP and a member of the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare — fits, checks, replaces and removes hormonal and copper coils. No referral needed, and appointments usually available within the week.
Here — at The Canmore Clinic, 30 Canmore Street, Dunfermline. We are a short walk from the town centre, easy to reach from across Fife, and around 30 minutes from Edinburgh. A number of our patients travel in rather than wait for a local appointment.
Most people think of a coil as contraception. Dr Emily Arthurs fits them for three reasons:
The appointment takes 30 minutes. The fitting itself takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Most women describe strong period-type cramping for a minute or two during the fitting. Some find it more painful than that, and some barely notice it. We would rather tell you that honestly than pretend otherwise. Take pain relief an hour or so beforehand, and tell us if you are anxious — we can take it slowly and we can stop.
We offer flexible booking options to fit around your schedule. You can:
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs. You can view our consultation fees on our Pricing page, or contact us directly for more information.
You’ll find The Canmore Clinic at 30 Canmore Street, Dunfermline, Fife KY12 7NT — easily accessible from surrounding areas including Rosyth, Inverkeithing, and the wider Fife region.
At The Canmore Clinic in Dunfermline. You do not need a referral — book directly with us.
Allow 20 to 30 minutes for the appointment. The fitting itself takes around five minutes.
Yes. It is often slightly easier, as the cervix is a little more open. It is not required though — we can fit at other points in your cycle, and we will check you are not pregnant first.
Irregular spotting for the first few weeks is normal, and periods can be heavier or longer for the first three to six months with a copper coil. With a hormonal coil, periods usually become lighter over time and may stop altogether.
It depends on the device — generally five to ten years. We will tell you exactly when yours is due.
Yes, at any time. Removal is quicker and more comfortable than fitting.
Yes. Dr Emily Arthurs carries out all coil fittings at The Canmore Clinic.
