To consider 2 forms of contraception at once?

[Chattycat78]

Just that really. 2 small children. Am done. Couldn't cope with another- no way. Termination is something I'm not comfortable with, so getting pregnant now would be a disaster as I couldn't get rid of it, but I couldn't go through it all again if that makes sense! We're just at the point now where ds2 is sleeping through (10 months), plus I had hyperemesis in the last pregnancy and I really don't want to do it again!

Am taking the combined pill- and very religious about taking it too. BUT it's only about 95 Percent effective I believe.

Anyone else managed to juggle a combination of contraception?

Please please don't suggest the following:

• condoms- been married for years. Don't want to Go back to those days.

-the coil- tried it- had one fitted 2 weeks ago and it perforated my uterus and I had to have keyhole surgery to get it removed - --never again.

Any other combinations I could use together- e.g. Can you get the injection or something and still use the pill?

OR AIBU (and paranoid) even considering this?! I used the pill for years before kids and it never crossed my mind it might let me down so I'm not sure why I'm thinking about it now! I'm probably not that fertile either (38) although I wouldn't rely on that fact of course.

Any thoughts?

We were done after 4dc.

We were using condoms and then fell pregnant with dc5. I am unable to take hormonal contraception for various reasons.

We continued with the pregnancy.

After dc5 was born I told him that I respected his feelings about a vasectomy (he wasn't keen) but that he needed to respect that I just couldn't chance another pregnancy, so I would not be having PIV again. I was not comfortable with the failure rate of sterilisation.

12 months later he had a vasectomy.

except that for every 200 sterilised women, one will get pregnant every year

The new op (Essure hysteroscopic) is 1 in 1000.

Though it's not perfect and some think controversial safety-wise.
