Chickening out - arm implant, supposed to be put in this afternoon

[RhubarbRhubarbRhubarbRhubarb]

I had a call yesterday for a last minute appointment to have an arm implant (contraceptive) thing put in this afternoon.

They listed the side effects etc and now I’m a bit . I’ve just had a baby; well 5 and a half months ago. And all the talk of potentially constant, heavy periods argh - no. I’ve just had a baby and all the hormones. Why the fuck do I have to flood my body with more bloody hormones again? And having another procedure... I’ve just had a cesarian. No thanks. Humph. I’m basically sulking that this is my responsibility and not dh’s.

We’re currently just using condoms, which we did successfully for years pre dcs. I’m tempted to just keep doing this.

I don't get on with any hormonal contraception basically. I'd tried everything else and the implant was my final foray. After that and dc3 DH went for the snip.

I had a three month period for the first three months, then two weeks in every month until I lied and said I was ttc as they kept fobbing me off with "it'll get better". I lasted 2 years.
