I have always said that I don't want it, it was first suggested to me at 6 week check up of my dts, who are now 3. I was not keen for a number of reasons. Firstly at that time I was not sure if I would want another baby or not, and if so, I would have wanted another one sooner rather than later iyswim
Anyway, thats not an issue now, in fact we are considering for dh to have a vasectomy, but it does seem a bit final.
I am worried about the insertion of the coil first. When I was about 21 and needing emergency morning after contraception they tried to fit me with a coil ( I couldn't take a pill) and it was agony and I couldn't go through with it.
People say that even though my three dcs were born by c section that it will be easier. I am dubious as I only got to 1cm dilated with ds1 and had no labour at all with the dts.
I have bad periods and pretty severe pmt, and for this reason people say it will work wonders. I just have this worry that for me it will adversely affect my moods. I have read of this happening, and I tend to be some one who is always being told "well this reaction/experience is very unusual, you are one of a very few that ...... has affected in this way" In other words, if it is going to go wrong, with me it will
If it doesn't work out, and I have endured a painful insertion I only have an equally painfull extraction to look forward to. Would drs take it out as soon as I wanted it out ( if I did) or would they try and talk me into a longer trial? I don't like to feel that I am not in control of something like my contraception or my body.
Its a big dilemma, and I can't make my mind up, as it would be lovely if it made my periods from hell better, and I am fed up of using condoms.
Thanks for bearing with me, I have waffled a lot I know
Any thoughts?
