What contraceptives are you ladies using? I’m on an implant and the combined pill because I’m trying to control really heavy periods but it doesn’t seem to be working. Drs have mentioned the coil but I just don’t like the idea of that. Anyone had any experiences with the coil?

I’m due to get the hormonal coil fitted at the end of this month and I’m so nervous about getting it. Please can people share their experiences and advice with getting it fitted and afterwards ☺️

Hi all, just want to double check in the UK you have to pay for anti-depressants prescription and it’s not free like contraception? I remember it used to be free a few years ago so was shocked to get charged today.

Best form of contraception? Have only taken the pill before.

Has anyone ever taken norethisterone to delay a period for holiday? If so were there any bad side effects?

If you took the birth control shot(depo) for over a year, how long did it take you to get pregnant afterwards? Did anyone get pregnant while on it?

So the towel I used when I come out the shower needed to go in the wash so in the meantime I put it on the floor for when we come out the shower so the floor doesn’t get wet.

I don't know how many DPO I might be as I haven't had a period since May 21, 2024. I'm still technically on BC (depo provera) until the end of this month (will be the 3 month mark).

I've never had a pill where I don't have a break . I've just been given Desogestrel which is a non break pill. I'm still breastfeeding 9 months post partum so I'm not having periods anyway. I just wanted to hear from anyone's experience on these types of pill. Thanks
