Hello ladies, thanks for the input. I think it's wise for me to try something other than condoms now.Thanks for the link Eleanore I knew it must have been discussed before somewhere! I indeed have bought a "plastic cookie" but was kinda nervous about losing it(!)
Dear Trillian! Long time no speak, I'm well thank you. I read something on the Saturn Return recently and thought of the advice you gave me on the phone a while back!
Yes indeed, the side effects have worried me and I undertook a web search on them and indeed it was quite illuminating! One of the leaflets I had even mentioned cancer which was suprising. I'll be going to the docs tomorrow and will re-ask about the options, like the cervical cap.. I was thinking about the implant too? It seemed to have fewer / almost no side effects but know noone that has used one. I shall let you know what I choose. I think charting how it affects me should be interesting to look back on!
Hello Harpyr! Yes I was thinking about this last night in fact. Thanks for the link, I think it could work because I am so in tune with my body's patterns - I'm also very interested in how hormones affect moods, which is why I'm so concerned about choosing the right contraceptive method for me.
I tried googling for new birth control method but it didn't eem to bring anything up that we didn't know about, so wondered if anyone knew of anything about to break through the market? I guess if anything's new though, there's been no usage / feedback on it yet..
I've also heard about an hormone injection which you go to your doctor for after a few weeks for a top-up... not sure how effective or new that is, has anyone tried it?
