I have a 10mo dd and am 20 weeks pregnant so am naturally starting to think about contraception as i REALLY dont want to be caught out again!
so I cant use hormonal contraceptives as they send me slightly mental! dh doesnt even recognise the person i become, my personality totaly changes so they are out of the question totally.
next is the coil, but for religious reasons cant use that. so again another thing crossed off the list.
so that leaves condoms. but the problem is when we use these i get swollen, dry, sex is painful and generaly uncomfortable. i usually end up telling dh to get it over with because its hurting so much (the problem occurs even when using lubricant) I've never had a problem with latex gloves but thinking about it do get the same when being examined down there at the drs or hospital.
could this be a latex allergy? is it worth trying latex free condoms or will i still have the same problem do you think? has anyone else had this problem?
is there another form of contraceptive i'm missing?
