Hello everyone,
I posted this a while ago but didn't get any responses so I'm trying again, as it's still on my mind!
Wondering if anyone can share any experiences of staying away from hormonal contraceptives to prevent pregnancy? My husband and I had a baby this year and I have been back on the pill since, but it is playing havoc with my migraines (I have always suffered) and I am tired of putting hormones into my body as it generally makes me feel pretty crap. I didn't realise quite how much I hated it until I came off it, and then again how rubbish I've felt since I went back on it.
While we were TTC I was happy tracking my BBT and cervical mucus, and using ovulation sticks - my cycle is regular and predictable. We were thinking of going back to this and using fertility awareness to keep track of my cycle, and during those times of high or medium fertility or when slightly unsure, we would still use condoms.
Can anyone share their own stories of how this worked out for them? Oh and I should clarify, we want to start trying for another baby either next year or the year after so the snip is not an option yet!
