Brief history. Was on the pill since early 20s until I came off it before conceiving DS and had no problems. Then went back on it after I stopped breastfeeding him. Came off it conceive DD who is now 11 months and stopped bf a couple of months ago. Not planning to have any more children. When DD was 5 months had a mirena fitted. Had lots of heavy bleeding and went for 6 week check. GP couldn't find. Had to have scan, internal scan and x-ray. Coil not there. Since then have had really heavy periods that I have been finding hard to cope with. Decided to have another go with the mirena, went to GP last Thursday but she was unable to insert it - apparently I have an extremely anteverted womb and it wouldn't go round the corner (explains why the last one came out).
So I am left wondering what to do in terms of contraception. I want something with hormones in order to control the bleeding. Was wondering about the implant but not sure if that would control it. Otherwise should I just go back on the pill having had a 21 month break? I am 32.

Contraception advice - I *want* hormones but can't do the mirena.
