My family is complete. I am 40, DH 41. I wanted to get sterislied and read a but about it on the web and thought that it was no longer the invasive general anasthetic operation, but apparently it is and she won't refer me knowing I won't be allowed because it's wanted only for contraception.
Anyway, she thought the Mirena coil would suit me best. The thing is, my periods are no bother at all at the moment. I have one about every 5 weeks, it's no big deal. I really don't want to mess with this - unpredictability etc, months for it to settle down etc.
I guess DH should get the snip, but he's been talking about that for a while now. Meanwhile our sex life is rubbish because we both hate condoms and I am really scared of becoming preg. again. I don't want to take the pill again (been on it for years and years - great at the time, but it's not for me now).
There seems to be lots of negative reports here. Can all the women who love theres reply to this please and sell it to me!
If it's of any relevance, I never had problems with the pill (either combined or mini). I do get worse PMT these days (or maybe that's just the preteen!).
Thanks
