Contraception - help!

[loeylo]

I feel like a teenager again! Haha!

I had an ectopic pregnancy a few weeks ago, and the drug they used to treat it is highly toxic and can cause birth defects, so I need to use contraception for the next 3-6 months. I am also going to have testing done as to why I keep miscarrying and can't be pregnant for that either.

We have used various different kinds of contraception in the past. I can't take several kinds, including the pill, due to history of migraines and family history of strokes. I can take the mini pill but fell pregnant on it before. Since it is only for about 6 months, the implant, iud etc seems a bit excessive. I have had depo provera in the past and I feel horrible on it.

Basically, the only realistic option is condoms. We haven't used these in about 4 years as neither of us like the feel of them. I bought some yesterday and they were a complete turn off for both of us, so we ditched it and just used withdrawal - which we aren't really comfortable doing because if the risk of pregnancy!

Can anyone recommend a brand, available in the uk, which aren't tight, don't smell gross, and are really natural feeling for both of us?

I don't have any advice as we use the pull out method just didn't want to read and run

That is what we usually do - either that or natural family planning - but it is probably a bad idea!

Skins (Skyns?) or Mates are good brands

we use withdrawl method and then condoms around fertile stage. we haven't really looked into the thin ones, but might be worth a try

I know that Trojan has thin condoms.

We are also trying to make condoms work and it has been a miserable experience. No matter how much lube we use they just irritate my scar.
