Hi there. Finally having a new Merina fitted on 29 Nov via cervical block. Can't seem to get hold of anyone at the hospital to ask. The letter says come at 4.30 pm and nothing else. Do I need someone to pick me up after.... or is this low pain and will I be go to the Gym after at 6.00 pm same day. Not sure what to expect. Thanks for any info.

The fitting will vary with every women. It is a very straightforward procedure, provided you don't have an atrophied cervix or the womb is in a difficult position. The fitting can be uncomfortable for a very short while and cramping for a few hours afterwards is to be expected. Taking a couple of Ibuprofen beforehand is wise and going straight home for a quiet evening would also be sensible. if you have someone to go with you to take you home e.g. if the journey is difficult (say on public transport), then this might be good but I drove home with no problem.
It could all go swimmingly but it's best not to plan a big date or heavy exercise directly afterwards.
Good luck. DG x
