So I've tried many different pills and they don't seem to agree with me.
I have quite heavy periods so I need to bare that in mind.
I was looking at the copper coil and the Mirena coil? Anyone have anything to share on these? Would be really appreciated

A common side effect of the copper coil is heavier bleeding so I wouldn't even consider that. The mirena is often sold as likely to make your periods lighter or even stop all together, however it doesn't work like that for everyone and once you've got it they seem reluctant to remove it IMO.....if I heard "it should settle down" once more I was ready to cry!!
