what contraception has everyone gone onto since having little one

[Hevz]

In the past I've had the Merina coil twice which was great. That's what I'll be having once I've given birth to Smudge

I also had the implant....don't have this if you've ever suffered from depression. It sent me over the edge, it seemed the ideal contraceptive but blimey it sent me into a spiralling depression. Luckily I recovered fairly quickly once it was removed.

Oh. I was thinking of having this. Is there an actual direct link then? I'd best avoid it if there is as I used to suffer from terrible depression. Couldn't handle that with Oliver around now.

When I was suffering and my friend mentioned that it could be to do with the implant I didn't believe her....it seemed like the perfect contraceptive to me. As the weeks went on, somebody else mentioned it and when I asked the Dr she said that somebody should have warned me about this with my history of postnatal depression....bit bloody late by then.

I swiftly had it removed and was feeling much better within just a couple of weeks (I was still sceptical when having it removed that it could have been the cause). I would warn people so they are aware about the possible side effects, I'm sure it's fab for lots of people but if you have a history of depression make sure you discuss it with your Dr and be aware of any signs if you do decide to have it
