Hello,
I had my nexplanon implant removed yesterday (Hurrah). I have been taking cerazette for 10 days in readiness for the removal of the implant. I have reached a point where I don't want to add more hormones to my body and have been researching the copper coil.
It appeals to me because it contains no hormones. I have a DC who has just turned 3 and a DC who is 18 months in between my pregnancies I was on cerazette and after my youngest DC was born I had nexplanon implant. I just feel I've been on an emotional hormonal rollercoaster and I want a break.
I wasn't on any contraception at all for 3 years before first DC was born (took a long time to fall pregnant) and I honestly felt brilliant during this time, despite the stresses of trying to conceive. Felt like I had my sh*t together and was able to manage my weight. Contraceptives seem to mess me up a bit.
Soooooo, copper coil seems good. Am I right in thinking it's the mirena coil that contains hormones and the copper coil has none?
Any experiences ladies? Was it painful having the copper coil fitted?
thanks in advance x
