Sex

Are you opposed to alternative methods of birth control?

@Evelyn don’t want to take the pill as my family have problems with blood clots and the pill so dangerous to take so stick with condoms x

It’s such a normal fear of getting pregnant again , I was the same when my daughter was small ! TMI warning - But I’d just say that after the sex if you can see the sperm inside the condom try to be reassured by that Xx

have you tried other methods other than the pill?

@quira nope but considering it x

there’s non hormonal options also, i’ve opted for the depo injection as it’s the only option i can tolerate. it’s once every 3 months x

I would speak to your doctor and they will advise alternative birth control theirs so many aside from the pill

Look into the copper IUD! I got it 6 weeks PP. The only junk thing about it is that you can get heavy periods/bad cramping 😅

i feel that to some degree, i’ve been cycle tracking for 2 years and it has been successful but i still anxiously wait for my period every month. trying an IUD soon but im nervous. definitely not getting the copper because ive heard so much about the heavy bleeding

I’m terrified of getting pregnant again, I’m one and done. My partner is getting a vasectomy so hopefully that’ll help the fear but I completely get one you mean x

I was exactly the same, I think this is really common x

I know everyone has different experiences but I had the copper coil previously and didn’t have heavy bleeding. It did take a few days to settle in comfortably-I remember cramps initially, but after a few days, it was fine.

Im on birth control and we use condoms and i still get scared of being pregnant anytime we have sex so we rarely do it 🙃

What about BBT temp tracking? Theres a small device called Ovusense that can be inserted vaginally that tracks your body temperature while you sleep to give you an idea of when your fertile window is, so you can avoid sex around your fertile window not sure if its 100% fool proof as i don’t know how long sperm is active for so of course do your own research beforehand I used it to conceive so cant imagine it would be much different to avoiding conception

I’m the same way. 3 months pp, had a horrible pregnancy and birth and literally having surgery today to get the placenta out that they left behind. My husband doesn’t wanna use condoms and I don’t wanna get on birth control so we’re just not having sex ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I wasn’t nervous after my first then popped pregnant with my second got my tubes tied and now I constantly fear of pregnancy cause when I found out with both my babies I was 8-10 weeks pregnant and didn’t notice I didn’t have my period. But knowing now that there are serious consequences from an ectopic pregnancy even a slim chance I panic but I always try to remember that if I miss my period seeing I’m super serious about tracking my period I will know asap. I’d say worry but don’t. So like make sure there’s sperm in the condom avoid fertility window.
