Jayne Huddleston, 63, was told in 1990 that the device had fallen out after she went to the doctor for a check up.
A woman was left unable to have children after her contraceptive coil was left inside her for nearly 30 years.
She was unable to conceive so Jayne and her husband David underwent eight failed rounds of IVF between 1995 and 2002, costing thousands of pounds. “Me and David tried everything we could think of but nothing happened and we were referred to specialists who suggested IVF. Even after initial failed cycles the doctors didn’t seem too concerned. They said we had good quality embryos and I also had proven fertility.
She sought medical advice for back pain in 2019. During an appointment, a smear test was also carried out, during which a doctor believed she had seen a coil and a scan confirmed the device. Top news stories today "Everything we went through, all of the emotion, then having to pick ourselves up to try again just felt like a waste. It felt like it was all for nothing because I still had a coil in place. While following surgery to remove the coil my symptoms have gone I’m not sure we’ll ever get over the psychological pain of the last 30 years.
