I had to have my coil taken out exactly the same time at 10 months my gyne then said i must be on something else i was told to start the mini pill (feanolla 75mg) because i suffer with aura migranes, which i took for 3 weeks ended up at the gp with awful breast pain which i normally suffer with but this was on another level, she examined me and because they were so lumpy and swollen she told me to stop taking it and have a break from any hormones i have to go back in 3 to 4 months i also had bad acne on that too and my moods started to go downhill again not so bad as being on the coil but i think it would have got worse as i was only on the mini pill for 3 weeks hope this helps in some way 😊 xx

Thanks hun 😊 ive started them now on degesterol i think thats how u spell it lol i have been on them for 2 days but breasts Havent stopped hurting since my period finished 2 weeks ago, i get my pmt after not before. They never normally hurt but this was my first period without coil and was pretty bad. And ive found a lump in my breast whivh dr is sending me for scan but she thinks it's nothing to worry about. Fingers crossed its fine. Xx
