I'm pregant with my second child and me and hubby want this to be our last so im considering my options for once this baby is here but ive a mixed history with contraception.
Pill - about 9 years on the pill but it gave me migraines (took me way to long to link the 2!) so dont want to go back.
Merina - turned me totally mental! i liked it physically but mentally i had serious issues!
mini pill - been pretty good, no periods at all, no real side effects - low libido but maybe thats just getting old!, but long term im not sure i can be bothered with the pill and really dont want to accidently miss one and have another baby!
condoms - no thanks - bin bag sex urgh.
hubby wont get steralised because he's scared of needles.
so i feel like i have 3 remaining options (4 if you count abstenence!)
get steralised - long wating lists make this not too appealing. also you have to wait until your child is 12months before they will consider you! so thats not much of a real option.
copper coil - years of contraception means i cant remember what periods are like (i got pregnant stright off contraception both times) , people say your periods are heavier - i dont think i was heavy before but then ive enjoyed most my adult life without the disadvantage of bleeding - on hoilday, for swiming etc etc so im not sure i want to go back. but then no hormones appeals - but ive read a lot of horror stories.
implant - hormons again so im scared what might happen - dont know much about it but again theres horror stories. do you have much bleeding - is it like the mini pill?
so WWYD - copper coil or implant? any expereinces of them - good and bad. Especially for anyone whose got experience of the mini pill before hand and can compare.
thanks
