Hi all, just a bit about me. I had Kat and after my AF returned I relied on the cycle method to avoid becoming PG again and condoms for when I was ov'ing. Well, I only ever got one period (when AF returned) and I was pregnant again! So THAT system is out the window this time!

I can't take the pill, they affect my moods and emotions, weight and I forget too often and even when I don't forget, I have fallen pg(twice) due to relying on them (this was many yrs ago.....I ended up using just the ov method and condoms with much success untill DH and I started TTC Kat).

I fell pg on Depo provera and will NEVER consent to that again as I thought I was just having a long period (4wks).....nope.....I was pg. M/c'd a wk or so later......took something like 6months to get AF back after stopping injections....

Implanion...well, my friends (three of them) have it and swear by it. But with my sensitivity to hormones I am reluctant to use that also....

Condoms aren't appropriate as too often we get carried away and think "just this once won't hurt....."....that's why I'm pg again.

At my 12wk appt contraception was discussed and I am opting for the IUD(intra uterine device. It's where a device is placed into the uterus to stop the egg implanting). I will have to wait untill I have stopped bleeding from pg, but that is fine with me and at least this will not affect my moods and is pretty secure as a contraceptive (very few failures). There are risks as with any type of contraceptive, but I think I like the thought of this one better than taking something which will unbalance my system..... Also it can be removed and you can fall pg immediately when you decide to TTC.
