i've had problems with my contrceptive coil.i'm terribly moody and uptight.i've put on loads of weight i'm tired all the time.i'm haveing it out on friday.ican't take the pill and think the implant would affect me just as bad.my partner says he will have the snip but only if i get sterilised.he doesn't want anymore kids.but i wouldn't mind another one day.dont know what to do.

stop having sex

expatinscotland · 05/04/2006 22:22

diaphragm + condom. copper coil - no hormones. persona.

why do you need sterilised if he is?

i know how it is - i am having a dreadful time w/the mini pill. can't take combined anymore b/c of my age + strong paternal history of heart disease and hypertension, can't do injection b/c of history of depression, no implant or mirena b/c of how my body is reacting to progestin.

i won't do copper coil b/c the thought of longer, heavier periods just isn't acceptable.

BUT, i no longer want any kids, so luckily, sterilisation is an option for me!

good luck.

think hes worried that if we ever split up i may meet someone else and have another child .whereas if he had the snip he wouldn't have that option i dont know i'm only guessing.or maybe he feels if he has to go through something like that then so should i expatinscotland.

But he's asking you to have a major op. He's just getting a little procedure!

But he's asking you to have a major op. He just has to have a minor procedure! Doing both is overkill anyway!

yes he does chipmonkey.i think hes being selfish especially as its him who doesnt want anymore.i just think if he ..isnt having anymore he wants to make sure i never do either.i guess i can kind of understand that.although he knows i love him and i'm not going anywhere.

that doesn't sound like a secure, healthy, mature persont to be having a relationship with, IMO.

besides, if you went in for counselling for female sterilisation and even breathed that you might want another child one day, they'd send you packing.

it's a major op and you need to be sure in your heart of hearts that you never want to be pregnant/have another child again. ever.

Mumsy1234, are you sure you don't want another baby?

threebob · 07/04/2006 07:11

Just get a normal coil - I have terrible troubles with the pill and am fine with my coil. I love it. Even listing all my old baby stuff on Ebay because I know I'm making a rational and non hormone induced choice.

mumsy1234

have you thought about a copper coil? i assume you have a mirena one, with hormones

ihave a copper one and it stops all the hormone side effects

the only downside is your periods can be quite heavy
