Hi, please can someone help me with choosing a contraception that will work...I feel I have reached my limit on bad contraception!!
I am 28 and have tried a lot of different contraception and nothing has worked for me.
-I can't have estrogen because my mum had breast cancer and I get migraines.
-I tried the depo-injection but ended up having my period for 3 months after the second injection.
-I tried progesterone only pills and had my irregular bleeding non stop for 6 months, so stopped taking that.
-I currently have the copper coil, I have persevered with it for over a year and my periods remain so heavy and so painful. They usually last 10 days including spotting, and when for the rest of the month I get irregular bleeding, discharge and painful cramps. So I tried metafonic acid to help reduce the bleeding, which does help but after my period has stopped for 3 days, it comes back!
My doctor tells me my options are :
-Try the progesterone only pill again
-Have the implant
-or the mirena coil
all of which she says there is no telling if they will work, and I might just keep having irregular bleeding!!
Can any one give me any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!
Sorry if this came out like a rant, i am just so frustrated and cannot wait for the day when the male pill is invented!
Thank you !!!!
