Haven't got a clue where else I could post this, so thought I'd try here. If anyone has got sny suggestions as to where I could post it then feel free to let me know :)
Anyway, until recently I was on the Cilest contraceptive pill, but moved onto the Cerazette as i was suffering with migraines. I was having a conversation with my mum about the pill, and she said that she had always suffered with moodiness and low temperament on the pill, and since my sister has come off of it she has also been feeling a lot better. It got me thinking and I realized I'm not always in the best of moods and I'm sad to say it, but I may take it out on my son and i feel so terrible. (Please do not get me wrong, I do not lay a finger on him, I just raise my voice and tell him off for no real reason. Sad ) My fiance notices it and feels as though I don't love him or want to be with him anymore, but that is definitely not the case, I just can't seem to shake the terrible moods. I have been told in the past by doctors that I don't have depression, which I'm over the moon about as it runs in the family.
Can someone please advise me on where to go next?
I've had the implant before but I always bled so ended up on the pill as well, so there was no point.
I don't want the coil as we're hoping to have another child in the near future and don't want to put myself through all that when it's not going to be long lasting.
I have used the injection before, and I got on OK with that. A little weight gain, but that could have had something to do with my ex being a feeder. Does the injection contain the same as the pill?
I have an appointment to see my doctor within the next couple of weeks, but am just looking for some answers so I can maybe be prepared when i go to see him/her.
Any advice would be accepted, I'm just longing to be the happy and fun mum that I've always wanted to be.
I don't want the way I am to affect my son in any way, nor do I want him growing up remembering the bad times when mummy was always sad. I love my family to bits and can't bear the thought of losing them.
Sorry for the essay, but thank you for reading and getting this far!

TIA xx

If you want to avoid hormones then you're looking at the non-hormonal copper coil or condoms, or maybe natural family planning if you're very organised and a pregnancy wouldn't be a disaster.
