Anyone switched from Cerelle to Copper coil?

[Ruru313]

Hey, I’m new here.. has anyone switched from Cerelle mini pill to the copper coil & have any positive information about it?

I’ve been on cerelle for about 16 months now from I had my 3rd child. I had a period every month on it for about a year I’ve always been an anxious person but from I started this pill my mental health totally declined I’m always tired/moody, no sex drive what so ever & not to mention I’ve gained 2 and a half stone from I started I just feel so down about myself and everything else. I’m booked to go get the copper coil on Friday and after hearing all the horror stories about it threw this thread I’m scared to get it now. I understand I will have bad periods with the copper coil which I’m not really worried about as I would take a worse period if it meant that all the symptoms from the pill would disappear.

sorry for the long post but I’m just looking to know did anyone’s mental health improve when switching and did anyone’s appetite go back to normal and sex drive

Hey @ginforall how did you get on with your appointment ?

@Ruru313 it was all good, nowhere near as painful as I thought it might be, just a little uncomfortable. Have felt mostly ok today, just a few cramps, but haven't felt the need to take pain killers. Thank you for asking. Are you still getting on ok and enjoying being pill free?

@ginforall that’s great to hear that’s exactly how I was, I had a bleed for about a week after though but wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I am indeed my libido has came back with a bang and I am definitely not as bloated or as hungry as I was on the pill and my moods have massively improved along with my anxiety honestly feel like a new person who would have thought that a pill could make you feel so many ways

@Ruru313 Great update op I'm so glad you feel so much better now ,
