I highly recommend the coil. A bit of a "nip" when it's first inserted and then you can completely forget about it for the next 5 years. My advice is to take a painkiller before your appointment to get it inserted. Strangely enough, I felt quite weepy straight afterwards. I don't know why, but it soon passed. I haven't had children, so that's supposed to make it more uncomfortable, but it really was no big deal. Good luck hun
