contraception - difficult customer - please help

[bratnav]

OK just had DS and need to decide on contraception for the next 18 months before we TTC our last little munchkin.

Any hormonal method is out unless DH wants me to turn into a homicidal yet weepy loon. I have tried about 15 different pills over the years and none of them agree with me.

Hate hate hate condoms, both of us, to the point where there isn't much point if we use them IYSWIM.

The coil worked well for me before, but I went to get one fitted a couple of months ago and freaked out when the Dr put the speculum in I would love to have another one, but I can't see how I get past the insertion, would they give me a sedative. I do appreciate that I am being a complete wus.

Any thoughts appreciated.

24hrs pump and dump should be enough for a one-off dose.

Oh, dear, I've BFd on diazepam and never noticed a difference in her sleeping.

Your DD is obviously fine though

Thanks Emma, advice much appreciated.

she was about 4 months old.

i took 5mg to get to sleep whilst she napped as i have dire insomnia.

If you're a good shape inside for a cap/diaphragm it's an easy choice. Spermicide can be a bit irritant but otherwise just get into the habit of putting it in daily.
