No contraception - anyone else?

I haven’t I came off completely about a year before getting pregnant and was a different person, managed to get off antidepressants so don’t want to go back on them

@Lana you haven’t gone back onto contraception? I feel exactly the same way, I was a completely different person when trying for baby and wasn’t on the pill, would love to avoid it going forward x

Yep, I refuse to go back on it. I felt so low all the time. My partner doesn't want anymore children, but I am not going back to the shell of a person I was before trying to conceive x

Nope just condoms hubby agrees I’m a different person off it

@Kat same

Really against hormonal contraception. It alters our personality, libido, everything. I have always tracked my ovulation and in 9 years with my husband only got pregnant that one time we wanted to 😀🙌🏼🙌🏼 As long as woman's cycle is predictable, it is near impossible to get pregnant unless there is sperm present during ovulation.

@Gabi that’s really handy to know thank you. I am regular like clockwork, always have been. I completely agree it changes your mood completely. I hate it! I hate the person I am when taking it x

I’m breastfeeding so decided against going on anything. My hormones were enough without pumping more into my body. Just my personal opinion. X

i just cycle track - harder because i'm breastfeeding and only just got my period, but opportunities for sex are few and far between anyway because we're co sleeping😅 i was on the pill years ago and felt it really messed up my mental health so won't be going back on it

Yeah I haven’t gone back on contraception since giving birth and I just track my cycle, couldn’t think of anything worse than going back onto any hormonal contraceptives

We are just using condoms I refuse to go back on anything x

@keisha hahaha completely agree, we’re the same, between co sleeping and now 2 kids instead of 1 the opportunities are far and few between lol x

Wow really interesting to hear your feedback, thanks girls! I didn’t realise so many people were doing it! I really don’t want another but I can’t bear the pill anymore x

literally exactly the same situation here🤣🤣

I asked to have a coil but they couldn’t fit it at the appointment so I just decided I wouldn’t bother and we’d use condoms. To be fair to my husband he is willing to be referred for a vasectomy as our family is complete and I know he will attend all the follow ups etc,

My October 2024 baby is my second and hubby us now had a vasectomy but after my first baby in august 2022 I didn’t go back on contraception as my body was so much better without it and my periods were regular and so was my mood etc. I always hated contraception and I’m so glad I no longer need to take anything as it really messed me up
