What is suitable? Really can't get pregnant in the near future (probably never again :( ) looking at doubling up condoms +? as I'm less likely to slip up

I can't have coil & dont react well to hormones so am reluctant over long lasting hormones (unless any are the same as a previous pill & I know how I'd react?)

Thanks

Why can't you have a coil?

We used condoms. They did not work. I had a coil fitted.

Natural family planning, alongside coil and condoms became necessary in this house.

They couldn't fit it last time as I went into shock. No chance of doing it without a GA now as they won't get near me

Can you not use the previous pill?

I had mine fitted under a GA. I don't know if I'd have managed it while awake. I'm not great with hormones but took Loestrin 20 for years with no problems. No other pill suited.

Thanks

Can't take other pill whilebreastfeeding.

Am hoping that we can have another baby but such a long shot at the moment. So v wary of doing anything permanent.

What about the patch or nuva ring? the hormone levels are really low from what I have read.
