To ask in your opinion whats the best contraception

[blukite]

Apart from no sex I realise this isn't unreasonable, but I couldn't think where else to put it.
I gave birth 4 months ago, I've just had a chemical pregnancy and I'm heartbroken. I NEED contraception but I can't think what's good
I'm not aloud the injection, implant or patch. The thought of a coil or iud thingy makes me so queezy. I'm currently taking the mini pill but I can't remember when I'm taking it or if I have so I don't count on that working. My partner can't really use condoms. What else is there that's relatively good?

I've done the family planning method for years and only got pregnant the times that I had planned (twice) but I can't rely on that just now as periods are still haywire

I like it best when DP wears condoms.

Condoms.

Grin and bear it for the coil, very reliable, long term and a don't get periods with it.

We don't get on well with condoms

Oh dear, another 'my dh doesn't like condoms, so the ALL the responsibility of not getting pregnant, is down to me'

What is so hard about remembering to take the minipill? You could:

• set an alarm on your phone every day to remind you

• always take it when you brush your teeth before going to bed or getting up (my pill packet sits right next to my toothbrush)

• when you get a new pack of pills, sit down with your diary and write the dates on the packet with a fine line permanent marker, in tiny letters next to the day of the week indication

DH had the snip, although this is obv only am option if you've finished having babies.

I've two young kids, I realise I could set an alarm but 98% my phone is dead. I've taken it at varying times the last few days it's dreadful.
My partner is far too young (already thought about that) and I don't think he's finished having babies

Why do you not do well with condoms? Can get all sorts nowadays - latex, non-latex, lambskin, ribbed for her/his pleasure. Extra thin. Extra small. Everything's right there. If he doesn't want to put them on do it for him- not many men are going to refuse a condom being put on his dick via a blowjob.

I know it might not work for some people but me and husband use the withdrawal method. We have never had an unplanned pregnancy.
I had the injection once and it totally freaked me out when my periods went haywire 😮

Groupie, he tends to loose it right after the condom is on. Lemur oh no I've never even thought of that because I would be the unlucky one to get caught. My other half doesn't have the sensation of "coming" so that's not an option

None of us can tell you what the best method of contraception is for you.

Fwiw, I have over the years used the pill, copper coil and implant - all good.

The unique selling point of the implant is that fertility/ovulation returns within 28 days of removal AND it is a very reliable method to avoid pregnancy, so it might be an option if you want to simply space pregnancies.

Otoh, if you are done with making babies, clearly your DH should consider vasectomy. You've done your bit.

Or consider Billing's?

I've only ever had the combined pill. I was on Regividon from when I first started taking it until my husband and I decided to ttc. I went back on it after the baby was born, I got it at my 6 week check as I wasn't breastfeeding. However it wasn't agreeing with me and I felt sick trying to take it. I went to the doctor and started a different brand, microgynon (spelling may be wrong there), and since I've been fine.
I skip the pill free week so I have no withdrawal bleed as it's not necessary.
Though if you're bf the pill isn't suitable I don't think.
And for the posters who are saying about men not liking condoms, and that its all up to the woman to take precautions, what about women who don't like condoms either? Perhaps they don't want their partner to use them as it's not enjoyable for them?
I've never ever used condoms with anyone, be it with my husband or in previous long term relationships, or with one night stands or people I've seen a few times but not serious, like more casual. The reason being I just never wanted to, at all. Tell a lie, I was curious to know what it would feel like, so my husband uses one once, so I could experience it. I literally told him to stop within a minute as I hated it. I swore never ever again.

Copper coil for me. I don't do well with hormonal contraception

Friends of mine swear by the coil. Unfortunately I can't have that so himself is going for the snip.

I'm not aloud the implant though, to begin with the thought of that made me feel queezy but after having got my head around it and decided I wanted it, I'm not aloud it!
I'm on the mini pill so not the one that has a week break.
The cap sounds okay but I don't know where I would put it? I feel stupid typing that but what if it got lost or wasn't on properly, I don't think I've got the guts to shove it in me either

Copper coil. I fucking love it. No hormones, lasts for 10 years, don't have to think about it. Don't trust condoms and don't get on with hormonal contraception.

Allowed.

Honestly - the coil. I know the idea of it isn't for everyone, but once it's in there, that's it. It's done. I couldn't feel my strings due to the location of my cervix, so literally didn't think about it at all until I had it removed. Brilliant stuff.

I'm due to give birth in the next few weeks and will be having one put in ASAP.

If you are on the mini-pill (progesterone method) why would you not be allowed the implant (progesterone method)??

I think I've decided on the copper coil, does it ever move? And does it need to fitted during your cycle

They like to fit it during your period so they can be sure you definitely aren't pregnant.

There is a risk it can be expelled, yes.
