contraception

i was on the contraceptive in jection 4 nearly 2 years and i thought it was great never had a period only had 2 get it done once every 3 months.
but i was having a lot of problems with feeling very tired all the time so doctor done loads of tests thyroid, diabetes etc. well they all come bk clear, so the asked me to cum of the injection bout 6 weeks ago as that suppresses certain hormones n wow it worked im feeling much more motivated.

but now they want me 2 go bk on the pill as soon as ive had my 1st natural period. which i think is coming, (kinda 4got wot it feels like lol) but im terrible at remembering 2 take pills, and the last thing i need right now is to fall pregnant, there is no way i wud cope.

any ideas how 2 remember, ive thought of other types of contraception, ive had the coil n it fooked my insides up, dont want the implant cant b doin wiv feeling it im really squemish, condoms jus a no no they do my head in used em 4 6 weeks now cant wait 2 stop. n cant think of any others.

I tended to forget to take my pill, come off it now to try for number 4, but when I did take it I put it next to my toothbrush, so that it was one of the first things I did in the morning and I could see it and know to take it. Or you could put it near to the kettle or in the kitchen window, just so that it is near to one of the first things you do in the morning. Hope this helps.

thats a gud idea but knowing what im like im bound 2 forget still, even wen its right in front of me lol.
just one of those horrible things we have 2 remember. especially when i dont want no more no idea how you could cope with 4, good luck trying tho.

im in a simlar boat cause after ive had the baby i dont want to go back onto the pill or the implant because ive never been able to lose weight by being on them and i hate comdons as well, and i dont like injections or dont fancy having the coil lol and i dont see my hubby holding off for god knows how long till i get down till my ideal size before he gets any loving lol

I was always forgetful to take my pill too, what do u have for breakfast in the mornin if its ceral u could tape your pills to the milk or the ketal or something? lol

I always had my pills on my bedside table next to the bed so they were very often the last thing I saw before I went to sleep. In 10 years I never forgot one!

Obviously if you have little ones running about you dont want them within reach so if it was me I would keep them in the bathroom up high, near your toothbrush or something so you saw them before you went to bed.

We have been asked what contraception we want to go on now that Mileena is here and its easy in the early weeks to fall pregnant again. But I aint being funny but in these early weeks when ya tired and sore who wants to get jiggy with it? Really? I dont think I am gonna fall anytime soon coz I aint in the mood for it. lol But before Mileena we only ever used condoms and then stopped to try for a baby. But I am so confused as to whats the best opition on contraception. I mean Iv never had a problem with just using condoms but we both dont like them. So its interesting to read ya posts. hehe

when i got the implant in at first i was a bit like you screamish at the thought of having it in your arm but after i got used to it i forgot it was there, you only have to get it taken out after 3 years (i asked to keep mine when they removed it lol) it looks like the middle bit of ear cotton buds and perhaps a bit smaller than a hair pin, i didnt have any periods whilst i was on it and when i did i would have about a day and half of bleeding, i loved having it in! and in the end i used to like getting people to touch it lol
