[wizzness]

Don't take bcp if you smoke! I'm on marvelon which seems fine, I don't take breaks and don't notice any side effects. I tried the copper coil and I'll just say - if you're small/ skinny like me I'd avoid it! It was a terrible and painful experience, I was bloated with cramps most days and periods were agonising. They said it was perhaps because I was too small for the smallest size (I'm 5'6, 24'' waist, 50-55kg) Apparently the copper can increase oestrogen too so it's not totally hormonally neutral.
