contraception after pregnancy/birth?

[pansylove]

is anyone going to take extra precautions after they give birth? like the coil, the implant, pill, or anything?
i'm considering the implant, but having it under my skin might freak me out! i was on the pill before i got pregnant but came off it because it completely stripped me of a libido. Which i suppose was a very good contraception method!

I think im going to go on the pill.
I was going to get the implant, but me and my mum talked about it, and she thinks the pill will be best.

and she said shes going to
'religiously flick one into my mouth every night'
xx

 

[pansylove]

hahaha your mum sounds quite helpful! i just didn't get along with the pill, i tried 3 different sorts, my doctor was useless about it though and i ended up pregnant. so it's her fault. :/
i might start off trying the pill again, it's the least invasive. i wish there was one you could take at the start of the month and just ran its course!

 

[FayDanielle]

Yeah like one pill that lasts the full 21 days?!
That would be fab! Haha xx

 

[pansylove]

Yeah haha, or just lasted 31 days and there was nothing wrong with stopping your period. I do NOT miss periods one bit!!!

I was thinking of maybe a coil. The kind with no hormones. Not looked into it very well yet but its definitely an option for me

I'm just not gonna have sex again

Coil for me after falling pregnant on the pill I don't want it to happen again!

 

[18singlemom2b]

oh boy, i definetly planning on not allowing this to happen again anytime soon. i'm not in a relationship and although i feel so blessed i wouldn't want to do things the same way again. i want my next child to be with someone i'm really with, as in atleast engaged or even married too. since FOB flaked out this time.

not sure what i'll do, probably go on the pill. i haven't been on it before for longer than 3 months. hopefully it works haha.

My doctor put me on the pill at my 6 week appointment since I'm not breastfeeding. Maybe it'll come in handy once I actually get my libido back...

I was on the pill and it obviously didnt work for me, lol. I'm gonna get the IUD.

I think i'm gunna get the injection, anyone had any bad experience with this?
If its got bad ratings then will be the inplant even though the thought of it being stuck underneath my skin makes me feel ill :/ x

yeah haha same. makes me feel a bit strange.. i had no idea there even was an injection, i'm guna look into it.
i thought the injection was the implant? like, it's injected into your arm.
oh i duno!

Its an injection in the top of the back of your leg, like just below your bum you get it every 3 months i think it is, sounds painful but bet it doesnt hurt as much as the inplant x

 

[xprincessx]

my extra precaution for contraception is to not do it!! lol

me and OH have already agreed we're both terrified of doing it again after so will do "other things" and wait a while before doing IT again x

 

[rainbows_x]

I'm going back on the pill I think.
The reason it didn't work at first was I missed a few, got pregnant and never went on it again after my MC. But the time I was on it & taking it properly I got on well with it, I was on Cerazette.

I think we will also use condoms, I am petrified of becoming pregnant really soon! I want to wait another 4 years before WTT at least! x

 

[rubixcyoob.]

I personally don't want to go on anything, mainly because I cherish my fertility and don't want to risk anything messing it up, nor do I fancy the ones such as the pill, implant etc. because studies have shown that women who use hormonal contraceptions are more likely to get breast cancer than those who do not.

Me and OH are just using condoms and if we don't have them, we don't do it - simple. Although I had to take the morning after pill twice, because both times we had sex we weren't in a good state of mind for making practical decisions. I feel utter shite over taking that. Proper disgusting. (not having a go at anyone who has, just my own feelings on it).

So it's either condoms or nowt. However, OH has told me about something called natural family planning. As a Catholic he knows about it because it is a contraception method approved by his religion. It does not abort babies, nor does it used things like condoms etc. Basically it calculates your most fertile times of the month and makes you aware of the symptoms your body tells you, letting you know you are fertile. You avoid sex around this time, and since you can tell when you are fertile, you can avoid sex when you feel that way. Any other time you can have sex without using anything and be 97% protected - the same as condoms!

haha princess you're mad! i haven't been able to have sex whilst pregnant cus it's so sore and I have a prob with my pelvis, so 7 months without sex.. I can't wait to be able to be intimate with OH again.

Yeah I think 5 years at LEAST until I think about conceiving again!!
