Hi,
I had my second baby 6 weeks ago and am looking at contraception. We want to stop at 2 children so are looking at the coil (so not permanent incase we change our minds).
I like the idea of the non hormonal copper coil as I am worried about the side effects of the hormonal mirena coil.
I know the main side effect of the copper coil is heavier periods. Has anyone had any others? I've done a few searches on google and found people have said they have had weight gain, acne and mood swings ........ But as it doesn't contain hormones I don't understand how this is possible.
I'm now really confused and am thinking if there is possibility of same side effects I may as well go for the mirena and have lighter periods.
I know everyones body is different, but any help / your experiences will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
