Contraception after baby

Sadly, other than condoms and disks there aren’t any non hormonal methods of contraception. I had this discussion with my GP at my 8 week check and ended up leaving with the mini pill as that all they could recommend. I didn’t even want contraception as we were very happy to use condoms for a while and then see what happens (took me over 10 years to fall pregnant) but after an emergency c section, I have no choice but to be on contraception just in case. If you do get a different answer or someone else knows what to suggest, then I’d be happy for the information x
@Donna Woods there is the copper coil and the natural cycles app also. If you want more specialised advise, contact a sexual health place. MSI uk provide contraception.
@Abbie thank you but the copper coil isn’t short term (for me) and using an app isn’t a contraceptive.
following as having similar thoughts. atm i’m swaying more towards no contraception (the prescribed type) because of how my emotions were previously effect and having a personality disorder 🤷🏽♀️
I got sterilised 🤪🤣 third baby and knowing I wouldn’t want anymore I was sick of contraception I’ve been on different forms since 17 and I was so fed up , I was having planned section anyway so had it done at the same time x
I've been on the copper coil for the longest time and when I was planning on both pregnancies, I just took it out and was pregnant almost immediately. It's non-hormonal and since my first pregnancy, I haven't had any side effects like cramps, heavy periods etc. It's worked really well for me so far though I understand we're all different 😊
Progesterone only pill because it worked for 10 years and I can stop whenever I want heard too horror stories about coil and implant from close family and friends.
I have the injection x
@Donna Woods it is a certified contraceptive actually. More effective than condoms when used correctly.
Following because I'm also wondering the same thing!
