Implant or coil?

[NeatFreak]

I have been going round in circles for weeks trying to decide between having an implant or the coil... I'd really love some real feedback please!!

FWIW, I have taken the pill in the past but struggled to find a brand that didn't make me sick... does that have any bearing on it? One day I am convinced the coil is the perfect option then the next I want the implant. I've spoken to gp etc and they just give me leaflets and tell me it's up to me...

Any advice would be muchly appreciated. TIA

Surely the main thing to consider is hormonal or not?

Coil can be whipped out again if you don't get on with it, whereas implant presumably cannot?

I had a coil which didn't work for me- by that Imean poor insertion and it half fell out after a while, but I've never fancied implants.

Thanks. I have been told that the implant can be removed easily if it doesn't agree with me.

I'm not an expert but isn't the coil hormonal too? (well the IUS rather than the IUD, which I'm told they are reluctant to use now) I get horrendous PMT and my sister assures me her PMT disappeared on the pill...

A friend of mine had an implant and was shocked at how broody it made her. Iam going back 16 years, though, so maybe that's no longer an issue.
I've been using an IUD for that last 14 years (not the same one, obviously!) because I kept forgetting to take the pill and I don't get on with it for a number of reasons, so I wanted a hormone-free option. It can cause heavy periods, whereas most people say the Mirena coil virtually eradicates them, but the hormones it contains brings up other issues, mood swings being one of them.
Getting a coil fitted isn't the most fun you'll ever have - you'll be advised to take a couple of painkillers beforehand, but once it's there then you can generally forget about it for a few years. If it really doesn't suit you, removing a coil is quick and painless - thank goodness!

A copper coil can make your periods heavier.

A Mirena coil and the implant can make your periods stop completely (but some women have some irregular bleeding initially.)

Progesterone (ie the hormone in Mirena and Implanon) can make PMT worse.

Both coils and implants are easily removed, but having a coil removed is more straightforward.

Thanks for all the advice. I think I am veering towards the copper coil now as I'm not a huge fan of hormones and my periods are already heavy so I'm sure I will cope!
