Hello, I have an 7 month old dd and my periods have returned as has my libido so I need to get on some new contraception as neither DP or I are keen on condoms.
Previously I had the contraceptive implant Implanon, I had it for 3 years but I bled constantly after having it in and had to take microgynon pills everyday to combat this, it really affected my mood and I am not keen to repeat the experience. I have been on microgynon pills as a standalone contraceptive but I am just not good at taking them at the same time everyday and the effect from the hormones was the same as the implant.
I would just pick a copper coil and have it over and done with but since having DD my periods have been much heavier and much more painful than before I had her, and I don't really want to make it any worse. The Mirena coil sounds good, but is it? I would prefer to have no periods, but do the hormones have the same effects as the pill?
I imagine how contraception affects you depends on your own natural balance of hormones, so I assume someone who had a bad experience with the implant would be similar to me. So if you had the implant and hated it what contraception do you now use?
