Contraception?
Just wondering if anyone has the coil? How have you found it?
Went to get some condoms from the family planning clinic and they suggested the coil but i'm not sure. A friend of mine had one and had nothing but trouble with it. Are there any similar types of contraception? I don't really want to go back on the pill because I didn't like how long it took for my body to get back to normal though I did like how it cleared up my skin!

Im on the mini pill.....its a smaller dose but you have to take a pill everyday - unlike the normal pill where you have a 12 hour window to take it - the mini pill is 3 hours
I was on it for about 12 years before TTC DS and within the 1st month my periods were back to normal...
mini pill could be worth a shot ???????
DLAM xxxx
Sorry but cant be too much help pumduff, i am also on the mini pill. DLAM i would ask to be put on cerazette as it also has a 12 hour window, i was on micronor but may as well have been using nothing the amount of times I forgot to take it in the 3 hour window - my dr didnt understand why it had been prescribed over the cerazette xx
So glad as i didn't want to go back on the pill either.

Like Misspiggy I have the coil (without hormones) and have had no issues whatsoever plus I don't plan to have anymore and it lasts for 5 years so don't have to do anything for a while.
Before I had ds I had the implant in for 18months and had no probs with that either although do now have two tiny scars on my arm :roll:
Had the pill in between ds and dd and it really affected me hormonally in fact my hubby told me to stop taking it cause my moods were all over the place.
Hope you find something that works for you x
She now on the pill but finding that making her feel very sick too - whereas i not had any probs with pill.
I guess its just trial and error!
