no problem Ditty

and thank you to everyone for chipping in with stories and advice, I really appreciate it

I'm gonna read the damn leaflets again when I get in

ION: I have to leave work soon and it looks like its gonna absolutely hoy it down. And I'm wearing my knitted uggs

yeah we were doing that...and along came baby number 3

It's been chucking down here all day.

Your Uggs will weight about three stone by the time you get home

usually a couple of pound probably...but was 3 stone for me lol

Lordy... I think either me, the OH or both of us must not be particularly fertile.

Saz, I had the same problem. Pill gave me worse migraines than I had already suffered and the doc suggested the Implanon so I had it. Take those migraines and multiply by 10 and that's what I got! After nearly a year on the implanon the doc suggested I have it removed and try 3 months without contraception to see how this affected my migraines. 2 weeks later I was pregnant with my youngest lol. After he was born I had the mirena fitted and have to honestly say it was a nanosecond of pain and have had it in for 3 and a half years with few migraines but a lot of weight gain which I honestly can't blame the coil for fully. I rarely get periods which is a bonus and the headaches are much less severe when I do get them. Some people do put on weight but then other's dont and I honestly don't think it has anything to do with my coil that I have gained. More my mouths fault!

A friend of mine has the implant and she swears by it.I have delivered a few babes holding the coil in their hand.

I was always taught the best form of contraceptive is aspirn.  Held firmly between the knees.

Thanks Ella I think I'm swaying more towards the coil now.... I have to go back to the docs in a month or so - we're seeing how not being on the pill is affecting my headaches. So far, not had any... it was lucky really, I had a godawful headache last time I was visiting my parents and mam said it sounded like what she had and could it be because of the pill cos hers got worse when she was taking it. I would never have made the connection myself but as soon as she said it, it seemed obvious cos I never really get headaches. Gotta love mams

Hey SazBomb Ask the Doc about the copper coil as well, if you go down that route. as I have said, it contains NO hormones...2 day period for me this month No pain and no bloating

I'm sure she said copper ones weren't suitable for me... though I'm not sure why

You don't have an allergy do you?

Ow

Nope... I dunno if its to do with age?

How old are you SazBomb, you can whisper if you like

27 I swear, it just snuck up on me a week or so ago... I'd only just got used to being 26

Hmmmm, I keep wondering how the hell I reached 36!!! My Mum had 3 kids by the time she was my age...

Dunno what you two are moaning about... I am 39!!!  40 is looming!!

One of my best birthdays was 37 though... cos I had lost track when I was 36 and thought I was already 37... so was fab on my birthday when I actually realised I wasn't 38... but 'still' 37.   Was like a freebie year!

i'm 27 and a half and still not used to being 26 yet
