Contraception

Hello
I was wondering if someone could help or give advice
I'm currently 12 weeks post partum and looking for the best sort of contraception.
I have today had the injection that lasts 12 weeks but one of the definate side effects is weight gain. I struggle with my weight and how I look anyway so don't really want to continue having the injections.
What would you suggest? Implant? IUD? IUS?
When I was on the pill they never really agreed with me and really messed me up so don't want to go back to that🙈

IUD, wish I’d done it years ago.

Have you had any issues with it?

A bit if spotting for first 6 months, then none.

I've had the mirena coil in for 4 years now and i love it. Wish I did it years ago!
a couple of months of irregular bleeding when it was inserted but nothing since!
No periods, no side affects.

I need some advice please 🙏🏻
been off contraception for a couple of
months now as we decided to start a
family.

Normally a really active person have horses and Iv been so exhausted that my friend has done my horse for me….. Do I have really bad PMS or could it be that I’m pregnant?

I was so ill before I found out I was pregnant so it could be that or it could be that it's the time of year for colds and flus to start
Only way to know for sure is do a test

So I’m on day 37 of my cycle. No period and negative pregnancy test. Do I need to see a doctor?
