contraception

[AGKG]

hi everyone.

I've recently had my 3rd child. So no longer want any more children. My hubby is booked for a vasectomy. But there is other 3 months waiting list

Just wondered what best pill is that doesnt make you gain weight

I have had the coil. Injection. Implant etc in the past and they all made me spot bleed

Any help would be great. I am 39

Thanks

Realistically this is setting you need to.discuss with your GP as you might lot be able to have a particular pill depending on a lot of factors. With side effects eg weight gain, you normally wouldn't know until you try as not everyone will get a particular side effect.

You could look at the copper coil which is non hormonal but likely to.have a wait for that too with covid. Remember you will need to continue contraception for some time after your husband's vasectomy until.he gets a a negative sperm count sample which can take a few weeks.

Condoms!! I've had horrible side effects from any hormonal birth control. For such a short term period of time I would personally opt for condoms because they won't mess with your body at all.

Hi. We did on the 1st time since I gave birth and it split. Thats why I was thinking of something else. As I don't want to have to take emergency contraception again x
