I have been told by my GP that I have to come off the pill as I have started to get aura migraines.
My options are to go onto the mini pill (progesterone only) or to use some non-hormonal method eg condoms.
We are thinking of TTC in about a year or so, so that is why the GP has not recommended longer term methods eg implant etc.
I am leaning towards condoms as I realise it might take a while for fertility to return anyway, but feel a little wierd about having normal periods again- haven't had them since I was 17, now 26 and they used to be heavy and painful - much lighter when I went on pill. WWYD?
DH is not adverse to the idea of condoms, he says I have taken the pill for 9 years so he can put up with condoms for a while. I also think he wouldn't mind a "happy accident" IFKWIM...
Speaking of which, if I am going to TTC in a year, when would be the best time to start taking Folic Acid?
TIA
