I've namechanged as I'm embarrassed by how petty I sound.
I have menophobia - a fear of periods. Stupid eh?
I had a severely traumatic birth over 2 years ago, resulting in a lot of repair surgery postnatally. I also had problem bleeding after where I was admitted into hospital due to haemmorhage. I became obsessive about checking my bleeding. In the end I had a Mirena Coil inserted which only caused continuous bleeding for months and therefore did not help me in the slightest. So on top of the coil I was prescribed an OCP to take until the bleeding subsided. That was 23 months ago. I'm still taking the pill but take the week break as if that was the only contraception I'm on. And it's great, I get the tiniest barely-there bleed which over a whole "period" barely fills one purple light Tampax.
So this brings me to my 'issue'. Whilst doctors have confirmed it's not problematic being on both forms of contraception, I want to stop one so my body can adjust as I'd like a second baby in the next year or two.
Please don't think I sound pathethic, I already know I am. I am terrified of excess vaginal bleeding since my trauma. So, wwyd...
Get rid of the pill and see if the coil can handle it alone?
Bin the coil and have regular periods with the pill only (a lot heavier no doubt), plus I hear substantial bleeding can occur after coil removal?
I'm only 24. I had 9 years of perfectly normal periods, using up to green super Tampax and I never batted an eyelid.
I hate this 
and I'm so embarrassed as I know it's so natural
