recommendations for mini pill - problem with copper coil

Hi, I've just made an appointment to get my coil removed and need recommendations for which mini pill to ask for. I think one has been linked (perhaps informally) with depression - can anyone tell me which one so I can make sure I don't get prescribed that one!!! I'm still breastfeeding my 10 month old a few times a day so I think I'm not a candidate for the regular pill.

Also, at the risk of TMI, has anyone else had problems with continual discharge with a copper coil? It's not too heavy, similar to ovulation, but tinged yellowy-brown from the coil itself. The doctor says it's not a sign of PID and I've been swabbed etc. and even had a dose of antibiotics (I am strep B positive so they were ruling out a strep infection) but it's causing me a lot of worry so I'm getting the coil out.

I am doing grest with cerazette but there are a lot of women on here who dont get on well with it. I haven't had a period for over a year now which is great as the mini-pills I had prior to it made me bleed every 2 weeks (micronor and femulen)
