I've had pills, jabs and implants galore in the past to prevent pregnancy, and now I'm 9 weeks post having DC1 am meeting with the GP tomorrow to discuss a coil. I was initially thinking copper, but the GP who did DD's checks this week said the Mirena was better. I'm reluctant to have anything hormone based, as hormonal contraception in the past has made me emotional, hopeless and irritable. Has anyone had similar responses to hormone based contraception but has a Mirena? Or had the copper coil and tolerated it ok?
