I've still got a while to go, I just thought I'd get some ideas beforehand
Before I got pregnant I was taking microgynon, still had a period had no problem remembering to take it. I had an appointment with the doctor to get some more and was asked if I suffer migraines, yes I do. The doctor said I shouldn't be taking it but I can carry on as long as my migraines don't get any worse (I was getting 1 at least every fornight)
Anyway, to try and cut a long story short my vision started to go blurry just before my migraine started, I went to a family planning clinic because I wanted to come OFF contraception and she gave me cerazette, which I did not want to be on so I didn't take it.
We were planning on having a second anyway so decided to just use condoms until we felt ready.
I've also been on the implant but didn't have a period for months, great for some I suppose but I kind of like having one, it reassures me everything ok! weird I know Before the implant I had the injection I had this done twice and had to stop taking it because It left me unable to work for hours after.
I don't like the thought of being on something permanent, or when I do decide to come off it will take my body ages to re-adjust. Apart from the mirgrains microgynon, but I can't take that now.. I also wanted to try the patch but I've read I wont be able to take it until baby is 6 months :(
I thought I'd write this because I know once I go to the doctors I'm going to have all these options thrown at me, they don't really care what I go on as long as its something, but for me its a big decision!
