Contraceptive of Choice?

[Amaunet]

Just been reading another thread and thinking...ohhh crap! DS doesn't feed at night much anymore (7-10 hours between feeds) so I'm guessing bf is NOT going to be my contraceptive I am reeeaallllyyy bad at taking the pill....guess its back to implanon...or maybe I can sell my DH on abstinence LOL

It got me thinking...what contraceptive do you use? prefer?

I'm on the pill, worked for me up until DD was conceived - in fact pretty much as soon as i went off it I fell pg! but it worked for me while i was taking it, and I just set an alarm on my phone to go off at the same time every day so I don't forget to take it (as that would be quite likely with mummy brain! Lol)

Children!

Really just the pill here, too. it's easy, kwim? Sorry that's not much help. Where is that male pill? Damn scientists...

ETA - One MCHN suggested a Mirena - I can't remember much but I think it's a small device inserted into the cervix? Someone else might know more....

I use the Mini-Pill now... but condoms worked for us for about 2 years.

Actually, I prefer condoms. DH has a low sex drive so one pack lasts for aaaaaaages and if DS wakes up in the night and wants me then there's no... icky factor. I'll just leave it at that.

I second condoms! They are much tidier and easier to remember LOL

I tried about 7 different types of birth control pills and they all made me sooooo ill (plus I'm terrible at remembering to take them). They only one that finally worked was the mini-pill.

Depo-provera shots were terrible. I had 3 month period then it would come every 2 months and last 10 days. It also gave me really bad headaches.

We used condoms until DP had the snip.
