To ask what you use for contraception?

[cafepourdeux]

I'm 38, I have 3DC's just had a baby (hopefully my last) and I should have taken the surgeon up on being sterilised 😩

I've used the pill (many, many years) before & Mirena coil recently but they really affected my mood. In recent years I take anti depressants which really help with my mood.

What are my options? I've been so ill after this baby I can't face another pregnancy

i've got a copper coil after 1 DC. it's practically perfect!

my periods are a bit heavier but it's better than being depressed on the pill/any of the hormonal ones, it requires no input from me and I'm not bloody pregnant!!

I use the NATURAL CYCLES app!!
It has totally changed my life, have total control over my fertility with no hormones. I understand my body so much more too. It is the only certified app for contraception and it has en excellent track record!! It has a similar effectiveness as the pill. It obvs doesn’t protect from stds etc but great if you are in long term relationship. Google it.... it’s fantastic!

l have copper coil. It hasn't affected my periods but DP can feel it poking the end of his nob.

Was on the pill for years and had to come off it last year for health reasons.
Using condoms at the moment and I absolutely hate it as I just don't trust them. I trust DH, just not condoms.
Have 4 friends who have used the coil at one stage or another in the past few years. One got pregnant, another had periods lasting 2 weeks plus, a third had horrendous pain constantly and the fourth had it get lost inside her and needed surgery to remove it. If it was the last contraceptive on earth I wouldn't touch it.

I’ve been on the Depo injection for about 4 years, no periods in that time. Best thing I ever did!

I had the implant put in at the end of January and so far so good, no period at all yet. Prior to that I was on the depo on and off for about 5 years and had no side effects or periods from that either. I only switched to the implant as I was getting pretty lax with getting the injection on time.
