Anyone switched from Mirena Coil to Copper Coil? How did you get on?

[justwanttoweeinpeace]

Just that really. The Mirena is not working out, I'm at slightly higher risk of stroke so the doc is reluctant to put me back on the pill.

We talked about switching to the copper coil to avoid the hormones. Anyone done it? How did you get on?

We thought about DH getting the snip but I really want to stop or heavily reduce the scale of my periods.

TIA

I do not have a good experience of copper. I bled so much in 9 months I was anaemic and had it removed. I have mirena now and after a year I'm flooding. I already had acne but have gained 2 stone as well
