Obviously it depends on your situation:
But the coil seems pretty good to me. It is not chemical, nothing to remember, shorter periods, doesn't affect the intamacy.
anyway...my mum told me she had a coil when she fell pregnant with me 😛

I've been on depro prevera (sp?) sinceI had my last little bundle of joy. It's a shot in the bum every 8-10 weeks and stops all menstral flow completely. No ovulating, no babies.
I'm breast feeding so birth control pills are out and I don't think the "coil" is something I would ever want to try.
I haven't suffered any side effects at all and the cost is fairly resonable......
$52.00 canadian every 10 weeks.
I highly recommend it to all women.

"Unlike Norplant, Depo-Provera has a tainted past. It is possibly linked to breast cancer. This suspicion hinges on an early 1970s' study in which breast cancers were found in beagles treated for more than three years with Depo-Provera injections. However, the dose was equal to twenty-five times that of the human contraceptive dose, and beagles are considerably smaller than human females. The study was discounted by the FDA, which said the beagles were not "appropriate animal models" for determining Depo-Provera side effects. In the 1980s, another study was conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) on eleven thousand Depo-Provera users worldwide. The study found that women were not at risk for breast cancer on Depo-Provera, which is now available in ninety countries. Herein lies the controversy. The National Women's Health Network in the United States is very unhappy with the FDA's conclusions. It counters that the WHO study was done on women who lived in countries where breast cancer rates are half that of the United States, and argues that the study is totally inaccurate. Again, stay alert and watch the medical headlines for more news on this."
