hi all!

i'm finding it really difficult to choose a new method of contraception- i?m 27 and i?ve been on the combined pill for about 10 years with a couple of breaks quite a few years ago. i smoked heavily until 18 months ago, and am a happy quitter now!!

i quit because a) it was killing me!! and b) because i want to prepare my body for making babies :d which is also why i want to get off the pill.

i was starting to think that an iud was the way to go, but i just read the mirena iud post, and have now struck that method off the list (i've had stage 2 changes and colposcopy about 4 years ago, and have also never been pregnant).

plus, i have a tendency to thrush, which i suspect will diminish when i get off the pill. diaphragms and condoms are way too mood-killing and i think i'd be a bit freaked out by relying 100% on nfp, though i want to learn about that for conception before i get to that point

any recommendations?????
