I've literally just gone back on the mini pill as it stops me ovulating so no periods - hurrah. Also, needles freak me out & the idea of having an implant or the coil stuck in my body doesn't appeal. |

I've had a tubal ligation and use condoms. |

I used to have the depo, then went to implant which fucked up my periods after about a year or so and now I'm on the mini pill and my skin has finally cleared up and I haven't had an actual period for 9 months!

"Implant, no periods and much easier to remember "
The implant worked ok for me for a year or so and then I had periods that lasted up to 12 days and really heavy  couldn't wait to get it out!

I believe the implant is the same chemicals as the depo injection - which was great for me for about a year, and then gave me a near constant bleed for over 12 months.

Condoms and a very good awareness of what is going on with my body at last...too many chemical contraceptions have played havoc with my pcos and my body over the years so now I have regular periods for the first time ever and am the smallest I have been in a very long time, I am keeping it that way until they are done.  |

"Mirena coil I was put on that after the cancer. Only had about 6 periods in 12 years.
Help to balance my hormones.
Dick has had a vasectomy no no chance of getting pregnant.
"
I thought there was always a very small chance of pregnancy even if a guy has had the snip? |

There is and a small chance with the coil.
After 15 years I think it's safe to say the snip worked |

Fred has had the snip so we don't rely on anything else.
Starting to have more problems with my periods, Dr keeps recommending the pill but I'm not really keen on doing that, but need to make a change. |

Mirena coil because I can forget about it for 5 years. I'm basically shit at remembering to take the pill and making appointments so it suits me perfectly. Plus there are no side effects for me. |

Any kind of hormonal business turns me into an emotional mess. I'm only a mess for 2 days a cycle instead of all the time as I let my body do it's natural thing. |

Fell pregnant on two types of pill and condoms twice.
Got an implant and Hubby has now had the snip.
No all-clear just yet, but will probably stick with the implant anyway in future (plus condoms, of course) while we're still playing.

I am very in tune with my cycle and follow it closely. Haven't used any form of contraception apart from natural family planning and condoms for 20 years,but we have 4 children and really do not want any more children so I am thinking of getting a copper coil. I have super light, pain free periods and I am worried about what it might do to my cycle.
Does anyone have good experiences of it, all I have read have been negative.

Condoms
Pill and implant caused havoc with mrs.
Crazy irregular periods which could last weeks.
Everything was fine for years and then we decide to just use condoms once it started having bad side effects on mrs |

Mirena coil and condoms but thinking of having it removed.
The strings have disappeared inside (had a scan, all fine) and funnily enough seem to have cleared up my PCOS a bit too. But emotionally, drives me crackers and my skin and periods are still all over the shop six months later.
Is there anything besides a hysterectomy (I've asked, they've refused to) that will stop periods and babies? |

Total abdominal hysterectomy along with cervix removed all due to health reasons. Even though I needed it for years Dr's refused due to my age so had to go private. Best decision I ever made and worth every penny. No more pain, crazy bleeding or cancer scares and bonus of no chance of pregnancy.
Still use condoms in case of STI's and get checked regularly though to be safe. |

TNS2016 just a polite word of warning, the copper coil is known for its heavy bleeding & painful periods, I had no option as ive had breast cancer & couldn't us anything hormonal. The copper coil is deamed a bit old fashioned now as the Mirena coil is better with less bleeding for those suitable. Apparently I'm ok to use the Minera coil & having it fitted next month, good luck |

this would be my chosen option but they refused me 4 times due to various reasons ... first I was too young. Then single so what if I met someone. The last two times were weight related. First time i was 12 stone.. and last time 21... but 4.stone till they can't use that.. and im over 40 now.. so hopefully they will agree to it

Currently A is using depo injection but we are looking to have the implant/rod next week.
Reading the messages it looks like the implant causes heavy periods most of the time around a year after. Is that a likely side effect and why a year?

You need to talk to your doctor. It's not a likely side affect, but it is something you should be aware has happened to a minority of women in the past. |

I have had 3, the 1st one was awesome, light short periods, but I had to have it removed as I had to have some abnormal cells zapped off, the 2nd one was ok, if I remember rightly, until my body started telling me this one had been in to long, now I'm on my 3rd, and I get long periods with one super heavy day, the hospital told me (I went in for another reason) it is probably down to the copper, it has that effect. So I guess that how it works for you is down to you personally and the time of your life. I didn't want extra hormones it just is the easiest thing for me and it has certainly worked for me, although I would love to have a light short period again, you might be lucky and keep that, it would take a few months to settle in though, good luck with whatever you decide x |

I was put on Cerelle and was a blubbering wreck for around 6 weeks then seemed to settle.
Stopped taking it due to other side effects becoming unbearable but give it time and hopefully your mood will settle too |

Absolutely no chance of the snip not working. They cut the tubes, leave a big gap so they can't touch and then cauterise both ends. Then you have to have 2 clear (sperm free) results. |

"I am very in tune with my cycle and follow it closely. Haven't used any form of contraception apart from natural family planning and condoms for 20 years,but we have 4 children and really do not want any more children so I am thinking of getting a copper coil. I have super light, pain free periods and I am worried about what it might do to my cycle.
Does anyone have good experiences of it, all I have read have been negative.

I have had 3, the 1st one was awesome, light short periods, but I had to have it removed as I had to have some abnormal cells zapped off, the 2nd one was ok, if I remember rightly, until my body started telling me this one had been in to long, now I'm on my 3rd, and I get long periods with one super heavy day, the hospital told me (I went in for another reason) it is probably down to the copper, it has that effect. So I guess that how it works for you is down to you personally and the time of your life. I didn't want extra hormones it just is the easiest thing for me and it has certainly worked for me, although I would love to have a light short period again, you might be lucky and keep that, it would take a few months to settle in though, good luck with whatever you decide x"
Thank you that has really helped xx |
