lets talk non-hormone contraception

[mde]

opk, def dont want another baby for about 3years minimum.

sisters were dx with a blood clotting disorder recently, as was my nan, mum is still waiting on results, but generally it passed down, and i havent sorted out my blood tests yet.

so ideally want soemthing which wont cause increase in clots.

is there anything?

No, if you get one fitted they can be fab.

you can put it in every night 'incase' of action.

Mind you that can feel a little like taking you harp to the party and no-one asking you to play!

you can set yourslef up before anything happens, unlike the condom.

Used well they are only slightly less effective than the condom.

No everywhere does them though.

Good for 'family spacing' rather than 'I must not get pg ever again' type contraception

lol MB, and you can bet the the one night i dont put it in would be the night peter wants some and i have to get out of bed to put it in.

am now googling every sort possible. the patch is def out as i am over 14stone, (personal clown did u have that? how was it? might conisder it when more weight has gone).

am generally cautious of heavey periods with the coil, as mine are heavey anyway, and knowing my luck they would get worse.

NFP def no0t for me, as last couple of periods have been erractic, have just had a 3 week late on which was driving me bonkers. i think its all the stress is causing havoc.

I've got to go with the non hormone opption too due to medical reasons and agree diaphram and condom really are passion killers IMO. I really don't want the non hormene coils either by the sounds of it I don't want any ore kids now either so want DH to go for the snip but he won't. When i probed him further about why ( he doesn't want any more kids either life is HECTIC already) His reply was that he is still young and if we were to ever seperate inthe future then he might want a family if he was to settle with anyone else!!!!! What the heck do i say to that!!!

persona? calendar method? Intend to use the latter when my cycle's back.

oh, just read your last post.

I think you say "OK here are the johnnies"

It's me that doesn't want to use them. My reply was "no snip, no sex"

if i knew 100% that my family was complete theni would be booking in for steralization, but i just get that feeling that we arent done yet.

maybe i can go on a sex ban untill i figure this all out.

I've tried most methods of contraception! When I had cap fitted they got a student in to watch as it was such a rare event (was slightly perturbed at being described as such an oddity .
Have recently got copper coil, as have bad reaction to any kind of hormonal contraception (got strangely aggressive on the pill!). So far it's been fine - bit crampy, and periods drag on a bit, but only two really heavy days, the rest manageable. Using mooncup has really helped.

i'm a right ratty cow when pmt hits as well. which scares me the though of adding extra hormones into the mix.

have they developed the male pill yet? i'm sure that one more pill wont be noticed by dh with all his meds (i know, its unlikely he would be able to take it)

right, have just read through all the stuff on google on whats available, and tbh, if i do have this blood clotting disordering then my choices are severely limited as i suspected. will get the bloods done this week, and i think they take about 2 weeks to come back, s by then should be almost ready to make a fully informed choice.

no chance of sex this week, my 3 week late AF had arrived and dh is having a biopsy tomorrow so will be tender for a few days.
