Hello, I've just given birth to my second baby and we're definitely done. I had two miscarriages between my two successful pregnancies and wouldn't put myself through it again even if I did want another one!
But I've been off hormonal contraception for 6 years and am reluctant to go back on it. I stopped taking the combined pill when I started having migraines with aura symptoms, and the progesterone only one I was put on instead gave me panic attacks.
So, I'd love to hear other people's perspective on our next step. I'm keen to know more about...
- the hormone free copper coil (DR said this causes heavy bleeding?)
- the Mirena coil (Dr said the hormones act locally so less likely to impact mood? But I also know someone who got pregnant with one of these...)
- Vasectomies (husband is open to the idea but wobbled on the idea when he realised reversals aren't always successful!)
Does anyone have any experiences that might help me decide? We can stick with temperature checking/condoms/withdrawal but feels more of a risk now getting pregnant would be genuinely problematic.
