Help me choose contraception

[PinkPalace]

i have been looking into this as well.
As far as i can see the mirena is hormonal also.
You will needto look at the copper IUD and you need a qual ob that can insert it (ie referral needed).
I did some reading up and i am nervous about having it up there.... so we are now discussing sterilisation ....

Sterilisation is a good option, but I really want to have one or two more children. More likely to just have one.

Wow, sterilisation really ?

[echidna]

No its not what I am considering, far from it! PinkPalace is thinking of it.

What I meant, that to prevent pregnancy, sterilisation is a good option, but as I want to have more children, I am not considering it.

[westy]

Fair enough! Goodluck i hope you find something that suits your needs.

I guess it's all a matter of what you feel is best for you, i know i personally would never even consider sterilisation but thats just me!

Hi Echidna,

I'm another implonon non-success story. After it was removed I looked into natural alternatives. Started with a babycomp and that led into charting, billings and Francesca Naish's books etc. I would definitely recommend this way as I feel so much aware and any moods have reasons now .. however it is involved, but kind of addictive. The babycomp is great for ease but it is limiting in the number of days allowed, that's why other methods were looked into . We've managed close to two years with no scares so its worked for me..are you a coffee drinker? that's probably helped us for a while as well

I can't stand coffee. Another reason why I am not going down the natural methods road is because I have a toddler, and am constantly taking her to and from the meeting point with her father. I sleep odd hours and am just not ready to be that completely focused on every little thing my body is doing. It may also affect the intimacy between my DF and I.

Does anyone have any info on IUDs?
