I loved the copper coil however it caused very heavy and long periods and I had to get it out after 5 months due to anaemia. I also have pmdd so I wanted to try something hormonal to ease this

I am a new user to the copper coil but am happy with how its going. I naturally have heavy periods (day 2 i would go through 4 pads extra absorbant in the day) but I'm in a place where i wanted to allow my body to heal after over 10 years of progesterone contraception ( implanon-mirena- copper coil). I feel this is a good balance for allowing my body to live in its natural state while also protecting from conception.
