Hi everyone! Just looking for some opinions on the different contraceptive options out there as I feel that I'm drawing a blank.
I have been on the copper coil in the past but my periods became so heavy and painful that I was prescribed high strength co-codamol and eventually decided that I couldn't live in a drug induced haze. I then switched to the Mirena coil but developed awful cystic acne all over my face.
Next I was put on the COCP, Yasmin, but unfortunately had a hemiplegic migraine so now cannot take hormonal contraception containing oestrogen.
I'm aware of the implant but I am really worried about the associated weight gain, which I think is backed up in studies now. Can anyone who has maybe been in a similar experience help me with what worked for them. I apprieciate that everyone is different but would just like some advice. Is there anything that I can use- I'm getting desperate here.
