I am currently on the mini pill, cerazette. I have been on it for a while, but have lately started to come out in terrible spots. I'm not sure if it is the cerazette (I am currently trying other options to find out the issue, for example cutting out sugar, drinking more water, eating better etc) that is causing the spots. I have spoken to my gp and she suggested other contraceptive options (none of which are an option for me at present) one of them options being the coil. I have never chosen the option of the coil as I have always heard bad news about them, but my gp says otherwise. I was wondering if any of you ladies have had any experience with having a coil (both either the 5year coil or the 10year coil) and if you could tell me of that experience (bad or good). I just want to have a think if it could be right for me... If there are any type 1 Diabetic ladies that have had the coil, I would like to hear your experiences too please? I'm type1 myself and I know it can make some things differ.
