Contraception - any suggestions?

Hello all - I'm a newbie here so please be gentle with me....

I currently have the mirena coil fitted and have done for the past 6 months. (My daughter is nearly 1). It has really messed up my skin and I haven't put any weight on, but I was losing quite a bit and since I've had it fitted I struggle to lose half a pound. It's also affecting my libido....

I'm not allowed on the combined pill (migranes), the POP gives me the same side effects as the coil (something to do with the progestron) and my DH has a latex allergy.

Any suggestions???!

could you not just have the normal coil? asssume it's the hormones in the mirena causing you probs! welcome to mumsnet btw

The diaphragm/cap hopefully your dp will be okay with that? Perhaps they do silicone ones?
