Contraception
Hi Ladies,
I know a lot of us probably won't even be thinking about this yet!!, but, was just wondering what you were going to do contraception wise??
We have started to BD already and have been careful but I'm confused with all the different options! Before DD1 I was on the combined pill and went back on it but had break through bleeding and quite painful periods so I stopped it and fell pregnant with Ava.
I was thinking about the implant but have heard a lot of negativity regarding that, has anyone had the implant before and had problems?
Thanks for any advice

I don't have any experience with any other contraception unfortunately, the other forms just don't appeal to me.
Long term I'm considering sterilisation lol

My friend had the implant, however she bleed all the time so she had it taken out.
I think it depends on each person.
I was on the depo jab for 13 years before coming off to get pregnant, but the recommended limit is only 2 years so not sure I'd be able to get that again....
I was also considering the implant but can't find any positive stories so gonna steer clear of that one!
I was thinking of asking for an IUS, but the oh isn't keen on having a 'foreign body up there', as he puts it!!
We have been really naughty this week tho, and have gone with withdrawal....oops!! Working so far, but I know there's massive risks, so a trip to the chemist tomorrow I think!!
Gonna discuss options with doc at check-up next week...
I am going to get the mirena coil. It was always fab when I had it in the past.
The only side affect I've heard of with the implant is weight gain.
I really want to have relations with hubby again but I currently have a fissure (sorry fir the info!!lol) and it's putting me off.
I would happily be sterilised but docs have said no and hubs went and was told we have to wait until Aleia is 1yr!!

At my docs you have to wait for the first day of your monthly and book it in for 5 days later. Apparently its best to put it in at the end of the bleeding.
I really like it as I am rubbish at remembering to take the pill!! Lol!!

thanks for the help x
I'd have to have another section of had a third and I seriously can't face that again, as well as all the worries adn stresses of pregnancy- not one of mine was straightforward! I know this sounds vain but I don't care, I'm ary of pill or injection cos I don't want to put on loads of weight
Will be having a serious chat at 6 week check but as I've not healed properly we haven't done the deed yet so no worries there
Luckily for me my hubs is more than happy to wait for relations until protected!!! Lol!! We have our 2 babies and that is it now!!
My first monthly is starting I think so not long to go!! Lol!!

Hope your all well btw dont really have time to go on the laptop these days lol
Chez and JD (almost 5 weeks!!!) xx
I have won my stay of execution though....phew....he's agreed to wait until our little Mia is a year old before trying again, IF I decide to go for number 2 at all. Told him to be grateful for the bundle of cuteness we already have and to enjoy her babyhood while he can. I win!!! So I'll be going back on the jab as soon as I can, and until then...he has a choice, get to the chemist or keep his hands to himself!!!
