Contraception

I’m at a complete loss now. I started microgen30 in late 2017 but had to stop after 5 months due to the fact I was getting severe migraines several times a week. (This pill would’ve been perfect for me if it weren’t for the migraines) so I transferred over to cerazette (absolute hell) I had this awful brown blood/sometimes full on period for 9 MONTHS straight wth maybe a few days here and there of no bleeding, after going to my GP about this we decided that trying the implant would be a good idea but after insertion I went about 4 weeks with no bleeding until the horrible bleeding began again. At this point I was ready to give up but my GP suggested trying a combination of the implant and the mini pill to ‘top up’ my hormones, this was perfect for a month up until a week ago where I’ve began that awful brown bleeding again. I honestly don’t know what other options I can try. I’d love to just have normal periods again but I’m sexually active abs can’t use condoms so I don’t have any other choice but birth control. What shall I do????!!

I had the same issues as you and I got the copper coil fitted. It lasts for ten years and contains no hormones so it won't make you bleed constantly. The one downside is your periods might get heavier but you won't constantly bleed.
