Contraception!!!!

Non hormonal (copper coil) I had it for 12years between the age of 20 and 32 before having kids.

Best decision I ever made, periods regular (every 31 days) bleeding for 2-3 days not particularly heavy, hormones back to normal, it was bliss, had it taken out to have a baby now pregnant with my first.

Not on the list! but I’m on the implant been on nearly a year now. No side effects (i know everyone is different) no periods now only in the first few months after having it. and lasts for 3yrs.

I have had the implant and the hormonal coil in the past.
I had a great experience with the implant, no bleeding until it was close to its replacement, but it was light. My mood wasnt up and down like it was on the pill.
The coil, was painful putting in (they tell you it is light cramping and I went back to work and had to immediately leave due to the pain). My bleeding took ages to stabilize. I also ended up in A&E because of sudden pain and bleeding a few months later. It turns out the coil had moved and had caused bleeding in the process.

Copper coil inserted 7 months ago during my section. No painful periods but they’ve been a bit more frequent than I was used to and definitely heavier but no issues! X

Hormonal coil (mirina coil) I had in for 9 months and had bled that whole time

I had the copper coil and it was a nightmare. I think everyone is different but the annoying thing is you don’t know what’s what until it’s inside of you

Thanks all, very insightful x

I had the copper coil (non hormonal) for 5 years pre pregnancy, best thing I ever did. Regular periods, never painful. Not sure if that’s just me though. Now unsure whether to have it again or not now I have my baby xx

I'd recommend the Evra patch to anyone. I just can't have it as I'm not too old 👵🏻
