Contraception


Hey Ladies = ]

I've only had my implant out like 6 or 7 weeks now
But condoms aren't really working for us. . .

I've had a look online and at all the leaflets etc. but I don't know what would be the best to seriously consider. I am very, very reluctant to take the pill or injection or anything else that's gonna pump hormones into me so I'm not left with that many choices.

I don't know what to do = /

aww hun, don't know what to suggest! We are using condoms, have been for the last couple of years and it does suck!! Thankfully there's not much longer for us as there really isn't any option for us until we start ttc.
Hope you find something hun if condoms aren't working xx

What about the female condom or the diaphragm?

I've been looking at the diaphragm more so than the female condom . . .
I think because we don't want to have to stop what we're doing to fix it && with the diaphram it can be sorted when I know we're going to be together.

Has anyone tried these methods?
&& how did they work out?

I must admit i've not tried either but a friend of mine used the diaphragm when she first came off the pill and said it was ok, the only issue she had was that you had to plan in advance.

Well my OH lives with me
&& we get down to it everyday lol

So I spose when he's on his way home I would just pop it in?
But it has to be left in afterwards. . . can it be used more than once without taking it out?

Sorry asking you like ya an expert = ]

might be worth having a chat with your gp to discuss your options i've been taking the pill since having madd, and did so before ttc maddi and it works well for us, though no it doesn't for some x x x
