Contraception....
Hi ladies,
I was just wondering if any of you have thought about contraception yet and if so what have you chosen? I was on the pill up until a few years ago but I'd been on that for many many years and am not so keen on pumping my body with more pills. Plus I'd like another baby at some stage and don't want to wait for it to get out of my system. I've been contemplating an IUD (coil?!?), anyone ever had 1? Does it hurt?
Any other recomendations? xx

Everybody is different but I will say I took Marvelon and before that other combined pills for 11 years and fell pregnant 10 days after stopping so I wouldn't hesitate to take it again when I can.
Hope whatever you choose works well for you xxx

Not that so far he's been interested as he's been super busy with work so really tired.
Also not sure whats going on with my stitches. Not sure they have dissolved and worry sex will be painful.
I think we will probably opt for condoms. As hopefully don't want a big gap before we have another baby, so seems best option!
Tmi but have been having rude dreams so may have to be brave if ever not completely knackered!
To be honest, neither of us find them that off putting, and I actually like the "mess" collecting facility of them (TMI!).
Very good point, they are great for that reason alone but I worry about them splitting etc and then getting caught out!
Currently using the method of don't come near me! Ha ha! No action for hubby since babies arrival!
Same here, I'm actually quite scared :roll:

Thank you for sharing ladies! I'm even more in a dilema now.... I don't like the sounds of the coil to be honest, don't see why I should put myself through so much pain having just given birth and not keen on the pill again. Think like you Justarscal and MrsR we'll stick with condomns. Neither of us are put off either and they seem to answer all our problems ie. painfree etc etc. I do get scared of accidents with condomns though... We had an 'accident' Saturday night, how irresponsible I know... Thankfully I came on for the 1st time Sunday phew!!! I guess I'll just have to learn to be more careful or put myself through the pain! xxx

Hopefully it won't effect you like it did me, it didn't happen straight away, more towards the last 2 years.
I saw my doctor on Friday and got my prescription for the pill, now just have to wait foe the dreaded AF :x
