Natural birth control

Hey ladies I'm sexually active and not ready for another child at the moment . What are natural ways to prevent pregnancy that actually have worked for you besides tracking ovulation?

What’s everyone doing for contraception now? I’m thinking of getting the hormonal coil but I’m SO scared of the insertion process and worried about side effects and if my husband will be able to feel it

Let’s get nasty!

When was the last time you showered?🤔

Nexplanon Implant

Got it last week and this week have seen a few things about causing mood swings and weight gain…what was your experience??

Contraceptive

Hi looking for advice on what people think is the best form of contraception

I had the pill which I fell pregnant on, the injection which I bled non stop on, the coil which I thought was good until it came out on its own.

I know I don’t want anymore children my little boy is definitely enough.

Also has anyone’s partner had the snip seeking advice on this too as I’ve asked my partner to do it, he didn’t seem very keen😂

What was your experience with the copper iud or iud’s in general?

Hi Mamas so I’m 3wks pp and I’m at the women’s clinic receiving my postpartum check up and I’m getting an appointment in 3 months to get put on birth control. I’ve been on the pill before and ended up pregnant so Im wanting a method that has a higher success rate. I have two kiddos now and don’t want more for a while if at all. I’m really leaning towards the copper IUD but I’m scared since I have no experience with it. I’m scared of gaining a ton of weight since I already struggle with hypothyroidism and pcos. I’ve had family members have really bad reactions to the drop shot and the implant so I’m not really wanting those just in case 😭

Pleaseee let me know yalls experience! Thank you in advance!

Pressure

Anyone got loads of pressure in vagina?!

BC choice & why

I’m 5 months postpartum, and at first I didn’t want to get on birth control for several reasons. But now I find myself more scared of having another child anytime soon than I am of trying to manage the effects of birth control while postpartum.

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
