what is the best to contraceptive to use?

Question

I have had my kids and i was wondering which form of contraceptive to use long term between the coil and noplant. i want something permanent but can take off if i want to have a baby with less side effects

Please serious answered I am married so abstinence is not an option please help

Answer 1

If you don't want permanent contraception, but want a trouble free method, may I suggest you consider the Mirena.

It is very effective and I know many women who are using it very happily, including me.

Answer 2

Have you considered depo-provera injections? I had them for a few years before having my son, and that is what I will go back to after completing my family. All you do is have the injection once every 12 weeks and you are protected from pregnancy. If you decide to have another baby just stop having the jabs and your body should return to normal pretty quickly. The side effects are that your periods can become very light or disappear all together - not a huge shame eh?! I have also had implanon, the contraceptive implant - but this caused me problems with constant light bleeding so I had to have it removed. After having it removed it took my body a long time to get back into a regular cycle. In my experience the depo-provera had less side effects than implanon, was just as effective and my body returned to normal quicker after stopping it. I have never had the coil so can't help you on that one. I didn't want it as I have heard that it can make your periods really heavy and painful, and that it can cause infection. And also because my cousins first baby was concieved when she had a coil fitted, she then lost the baby at 12 weeks. Hope this helps!

They don't make the Norplant anymore because it had serious side effects. The Implanon implant has replaced it and it is a small rod (like a matchstick) put in your left upper arm and you can't see it when it's in. It works immediately and stops once it's removed. I had one for 3 years after the birth of my daughter but had it removed and didn't have another one because it caused me to have a very low sex drive. I am now on the mini pill (has to be taken at same time every day). There are less risks on this than the combined pill. Again they tend not to do "coils" anymore because they are metal and can decay. They tend to use IUS (intra-uterine system) which is a small plastic T bar with a thread on it. The Mirena IUS is good, I had it for 5 years before I had it taken out to get pregnant. I had no periods on this and it was excellent, it did hurt a little going in and out though and you have to go and get your "threads felt" every year to check it's still in place a bit like having a smear.

Answer 4

Tough one. For me the pill is working best as you can try different levels of hormones tosuit you. I'm also thinking about the coil but a bit nervous! I tried the injection. Didnt like it at all, body felt different and kept bleeding and having two weeks in between each period, a friend also fell pregnant while having the injection. I guess everyone has a good/ bad story about each method so you will have to try each untill you're happy.

Notice how it the guys that gave stupid answers?!

Answer 5

Hey, I am in the same boat myself and I have tried just about everything. For me the thing that works with the most minimal amount of side affects is a pill called Yasmin. It isnt on the 'free' list so you have to pay full price but it is know to have fewer to no side affects and is safe for long time use. Go see you doctor and ask him for some information, it is available on perscription.

Answer 6

I would go with the coil. It's easy to fit, a little bit painful but not too bad and easy to remove. Works instantly and stops working as soon as it's out. Not good if you already have heavy period though.

Answer 7

I would go for the coil personally as it has very few side affect and can be removed anytime.I am prone to weight gain and was warned of noplant as thats one of the big side affects plus it takes a few months to get out of your system

Answer 8

I had the coil fitted and recommend it, no hormones to mess with the brain and no worries for five years!. I had it taken out in november and got pregnant that month.

Answer 9

Everyone here is gonna give you his/her preferences on whatever has worked for them. But, in order to use a succesful bc method you need to go to your gyn, he will have you take some tests and according to your medical history and special needs he will prescribed the one that is best for you. Good luck
