I really like the Mirena Coil, especially as the combined pill was my previous contraception which negatively affected my mood. I had a lot of spotting for the first month and now have the very occasional spotting, but it's great not having a period anymore.
Somewhat positive mood

First 6 months is an adjustment period so I had plenty of headache and feeling sick but after a while my body used to it and I am fine. 100% contraception effectiveness and no heavy period.
Very positive mood

Generally the Mirena has been great. Only noticed most of the side effects after 4 years having it in - and they’re still very manageable.
