Hi,

Ive been on dianette for 4 years and have been told its unsafe for me to continue due to high risk of stroke.

The doctor said my options are progesterone only pill (POP), implant, injection, and the coil/IUD thingy.

Im not really happy with any of them to be honest. If I were to choose one it would be the POP or implant, but Ive heard that being over a certain weight can reduce effectiveness and I'm not far off that weight.

Also, I dont like the potential side effects, such as acne (already have it), weight gain, irregular periods or lack of control over them and whatnot.

Has anyone any experience of the POP (most likely cerazette) and the implant?

thanks x
