It's such a minefield and I can't seem to see the woods for the trees. Hoping I reach a suitable conclusion soon.

I felt that it took over a year from when I came off the pill before I was ready to conceive. Although if I'm done conceiving then I suppose it doesn't really matter! The doctor prescribed me more pills at my 6 week checkup but I've yet to start taking them.<br /><br />I'm thinking that I might give the implant a go at some point, but I need to do a bit more research first.Jennifer Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135607034769804251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180162958527966840.post-44616425367659128442012-04-11T00:42:07.706+01:002012-04-11T00:42:07.706+01:00Hello my lovely, I can't suggest what may be b...Hello my lovely, I can't suggest what may be best for you and your partner but for me I used to take the pill for many years until I had continious spotting and bleeding for over 8 weeks - nothing serious just my body and the chemicals not mixing. <br /><br />I would probably try the implant next should I ever meet Mr. Right and have the need ;-) lol.

I've heard about the implant and I know some people that have been on it. The thought of that plastic finger thing or whatever it is lodged in my arm freaks me out. Maybe it's mind over matter, who knows? Hey ho I'll get there. I have to : )<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450555480439826278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180162958527966840.post-24684412401268783382012-04-10T19:39:07.477+01:002012-04-10T19:39:07.477+01:00Thank you, It is awful and we can't replace ou...Thank you, It is awful and we can't replace our loss but yes we both have beautiful babies even after such pain xxxMummaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703291120797504747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180162958527966840.post-127457832201625012012-04-10T18:52:24.337+01:002012-04-10T18:52:24.337+01:00Hi there.

Im probably not the best person to give advice on this subject considering I'm 6 months pregnant which was unplanned so my family planning skills are not on point! However, i thought i'd mention the implant which might be an option for you. Its a small tube that they place under your skin of your upper arm. Its effective for a few years so hassle and worry free. Might be worth researching or speaking to your GP about. A few of my friends have used it and had no problems. Oh and i think you can remove it whenever you like in case you change your mind about more Bambinoes! :-)Coritahttp://weddingmamadiaries.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180162958527966840.post-64287233137505326962012-04-10T12:03:19.760+01:002012-04-10T12:03:19.760+01:00MummaG thankyou.

It's strange because in my late teens and twenties the pill worked brilliantly for me, now I'm hyper sensitive to it.<br /><br />So sorry about your loss. Losing a baby is awful isn't it? There are no words to describe the pain. But look at us now with our beautiful babes.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I will definitely keep you posted on the final decision I make. xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450555480439826278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180162958527966840.post-3582487738938174842012-04-10T10:12:39.460+01:002012-04-10T10:12:39.460+01:00Great post, I'm, doing the whole abstinence th...Great post, I'm, doing the whole abstinence thing at the moment but unlike you I don't have a hubby to keep happy thank goodness! Like you I lost a baby in the late stages of pregnancy (21weeks 3days) and you sound exactly like me in terms of contraception, none of them seem to have great appeal. I am very interested to find out what you go with and how you find it.

I tried the pill,condoms, diaphragm (messy), and then the coil. I have the mirena coil and can honestly say I wouldn't be without it. It was fitted because of v heavy bleeding and subsequent anemia. I did have a scare once when on a routine check the nurse couldn't locate the strings, but an ultrasound scan soon found it, in place! My womb is tilted which makes insertion uncomfortable, but not unbearable. The worst bit for me is the speculum!! <br />Good luck with your decision making, but I wouldn't personally go for the rythm method - I have met too many mums for whom it hasn't worked!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180162958527966840.post-66463563153212086402012-04-09T23:43:31.283+01:002012-04-09T23:43:31.283+01:00Curlvolution, thank you so much for your comments ...Curlvolution, thank you so much for your comments and congrats on your darling baby boy. Yes I must remember to give myself a pat on the back amidst all the indecisiveness. Lol.<br /><br />You're right family planning does always seem to fall on the woman's shoulders. Yet another cross we have to bare. Sigh.<br /><br />I must admit the coil is definitely at the top of the list. My mum used it and never had any problems except when it fell out and my little sister found it on the floor. Eeew.<br /><br />I have heard the pain is short lived and it's a great form of contraception so I will have to reconsider.

I have a 6mth old darling son and to prevent having any 'oopps' babies till he is at least 2, I have opted for the non-hormone coil. Yes it's a foreign object in your system but when I looked at all the other options, it just seemed like the lesser evil. I'd used pills previously but always had some sort of adverse hormonal effect so I wanted something that had zero hormones- plus something that required zero thought (I forget everything)! Do consider-it's really not that uncomfortable, almost like 1 contraction but then the pain is gone and you don't know it's there!Curlvolutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535422052097183354noreply@blogger.com
