contraception (1 Viewer)

jonah You might want to rethink the implantation, it's not painful to get it in (your arm will be numbed) but there are lots of side effects like heavier bleeding, stronger cramps and mood swings. Everyone's different so there's no way to know how it'll be until you get it. Doctors are reported a high % of people asking to get the implant taken out early.

I've been told you can't get the IUD in Ireland unless you've had a child but you can in other countries and it's one of the most popular forms of contraception in Sweden. If you want a contraception that'll work as well as sterilization and lasts for 5 years then it's ideal. Like the implant, because it's a constant release of hormones, you cant know how your body will react until it's done. Some women have heavier periods and some have none at all for the whole 5 years. A few people I know complained of back pain but they're eh big ladies, so I dont know if that's the reason. It's not very comfortable to get done but if you've had a smear test (if you haven't you can ask for it to be done at the same time as this).

If these don't sound ok there's still the patch; like a nicotine patch that you put on your skin and it releases hormones into your blood stream that way.
The injection; injection your doctor gives you (can remember if it's every month or 3 months) but most wont give it if you've suffered with depression in the past as it could trigger it again.
The ring (nuvaring); it's a ring you put in and lasts for 3 weeks then you take it out for one. It works in the same way as the pill and the patch but you can put it in and forget about it for the month.

The diaphragm is fairly useless so dont bother.
I'm sure there's more but I cant think of them now.
Oh yeah, obviously they all only protect against pregnancy and none of the other STIs so condom or femdom are still a must.

Thank you so much for all of this riath. I'm not quite sure yet which is right for me, I just know I'm sick to death of the pill. I know you can get IUDs put in here but I've been strongly advised not to go for it by friends who've done it... to be honest, it seems pretty damn difficult to find any one method that doesn't have a History of Horror surrounding it, so I guess I'll just have to take my chances on something.
 
The patch is the least minging short term thing and the same side effects as the pill you're probably on. Might be worth a shot.
 
Or you could get him to wear this...
