Hi, I've just had an appointment and booked to remove my mirena. I've had horrible side effects and it's just not working for me, specialist contraception doc just ruled out anything with progesterone in it.
I can't use anything with oestrogen as I have aura migraines which indicate stroke risk when I'm on that.
So that's that for hormone based contraception.
She's offered me condoms or a copper coil (but only after a 3-4 month break). I'm reluctant to try another coil but I know neither my DP nor I can be trusted to use condoms reliably all the time, and another pregnancy is totally out of the question.
So, is there any other option? I know DP could have the snip but it feels a bit extreme... Not sure I would be happy charting.
I am coming to the conclusion that copper coil is the only practical solution but would like to know what it's been like for others.
Anyone willing to share?

all hormone contraception is off the table now. Is copper coil my only option? Any advice?
