.. well (risks a serious comment) the planet is full enough. Perhaps all men should be chopped. After a max of one springoff maybe.

Yep BH. I've heard that would do it. Or kids maybe.

Just been to see my doctor and after telling her what I'd been upto she was ready to give me the implant there and then!! I managed to come away with a prescription for the pill. I guess I'd better start taking them! :-o

I've tried the Combined Pill, which I liked, but had to stop taking because I get migraines....
I've tried the mini-pill (POP) which the first time was horrendous - continuous periods...good contraception, I suppose...
Then I tried the depo injection which was pretty good - no periods, but very low sex drive too, which I found more than a little frustrating.
I'm now back on the mini-pill, this time Cerazette, which works a lot better than the first attempt at the mini pill, but has similar side affects to the depo... hmmm.
What is a girl to do??
There doesn't seem to be one good answer - or the one I think is good, I am not allowed :(

there are some days I dont mind not having to think of things like this (although it wasnt part of my life plan or a choice but hey) always a silver lining... :)

I don't need the contraception either (batting for the same side as Stepford wife ;-) ) but have to say the Mirena coil rocks. I've had the best part of a decade with no cycles, no PMT, nowt whatsoever. If you've not had kids best plan is a get it done day case under general anasthetic. Not had a single problem with it.

I had the injection on and off for years. As I got older, my periods returned when I previously didn't have any whilst on the injection. Then I came off the injection and bled for three months. Docs FINALLY took me srsly and gave me something to stop it.

I will never again have the injection.

After Malachi, I had the mirena coil. I had no side effects whatsoever (apart from they left the threads too long and it stabbed somewhat :-O - It was quickly rectified) it was 'put in' in minutes and didn't hurt.

I will be having the mirena again once this baby is born and would recommend anyone who wants a contraception change to research/ask about it.

LOL Chromey we must both be enjoying knocked-upness so much as we're lurking here.

I will need to get my head round this after Cuthbert as was very lax last time but knew we wanted another. Not so this time.

I think your options are more limited if you breastfeed, aren't they? I am planning to feed for at least a year if I can.
