Persona......?

**booflebump** · Apr 26th, 2009, 15:02 PM

Has anyone used this as a contraceptive before? Apparentely it is only 3% less effective than the pill? I'm fed up of the pill (on a new one which has got rid of my crazy pmt but my face is beyond a mess of spots), and dont fancy any of the other options (implant, injection, coil....shudder)

Is it just natural family planning jazzed up or does it really work as a contraceptive?????? xxxxx

I think it's natural fam plan, with the aid of sticks/a monitor

I've googled it - its a monitor with pee on a stick thingmibobs that you stick in and it tells you whether its a 'red' day (fertile and dont bd) or a 'green; day (non fertile, bd till your hearts content) but wondering if its any more reliable than charting and knowing your fertile days....mmm! xxx

So its a posh opk then? Think it might be a bit more reliable cos it will be measuring your hormones.

I think thats the general idea.....going to run it past the OH and see what he thinks - he's very sympathetic to my hormonal plight and we would be sensible enough to stick to green days! xxx

Maybe I should look into this, as I'm not allowed to use anything hormonal.
Trouble is, it's probably the red days I'd want to

most

This is something we are thinking about as well as OH is desperate for me to come off the pill for health reasons as much as anything.

Let me know what you decide hun xxx
