Swapping implant for coil - which one?

I've had an implant for a year but am now having it removed as I keep getting bleeding all month round. GP tried me on the pill in addition for 3 months to try and stabilise it but once I came off the pill the bleeding started again.

I'm thinking of the coil as definitely can't run the risk of pregnancy again - but don't know which one to go for. If I have problems with the implant hormones will I have the same issues with the Mirena hormones? As anyone had bleeding problems with implant but been OK with Mirena?

I had bleeding with the injection but no bleeding with cerazette mini pill and no major bleeding so far with the mirena coil. I have only had it in a few weeks but am pleased with it so far. The copper coil can make periods heavier and more painful so wasnt something I would choose to have
