Advice, experiences and opinions on hormonal birth control!

So I’ve had the cooper IUD for about 5 years now, been working like a charm until about 4-5 months ago. I cramp heavily around my period, cramp after, and cramp super intense around ovulation. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t handle it on the first couple days.
Went to the gyno, she recommended we remove and try hormonal birth control. Since I have chronic migraines, my options are progesterone only methods. I’m scared though because I don’t want the hormonal birth control to wreak havoc on me and my body. Last time I was on any hormonal pill, it was combo unfortunately so won’t be repeating that.

Any advice or suggestions on which progesterone only method works? (IUD, pill, implant in arm, etc..) OR if I should just bypass it and try traditional methods? (I am in a long term relationship).
