Hi I have also heard the mirena from my gp. Do they put anesthesia when they insert it? Are you awake? Doesnt the IUD/strings feel awkward?
Marquette method pee on sticks for hormones detected read by clear blue fertility monitor and temp drop or Daysy
Seconding the mirena/IUD. Had two over 9 years, no periods after about 3 months. Didn't use condoms at all for the last 7 years or so, and no accidents! I still got some cramps and backache and all insatiable hunger each month, but no periods at all. Painful getting it fitted, but removal was about 60 seconds and 1 big cough 😂
I had the mirena but ultimately I didn't know a reputable doctor will have a sono going during insertion(that one refused). I wasn't even told to take 600mg ibuprofen prior to, so please be aware of that. My issue had to do with a "human pride issue", not the device itself so if you know those procedural elements you should be fine.
I loved the Mirena. I didn’t have any issues with the hormones, it’s so low doses. I also didn’t have any periods at all after the first couple months which was lovely! It’s supposed to make them lighter at least. Copper is supposed to make periods heavier and lighter, but has no hormones so a good option if you’re sensitive to hormones. It’s pretty painful getting an IUD out it, but taking them out is easy and relatively painless. The Mirena last 5 years and the copper one 10 so a great long term fix, all you have to do is check your strings are still there once a month. (They leave a strong attached to the end of the IUD and it dangles through your cervix into your vagina)
I loved the Mirena
I had two kids and decided to get my tubes tied yeah I’m a little bit older but most doctors if you’re really sure that you don’t want any more babies will still tire tubes which in my opinion is actually the best chance for no mistakes and not having to deal with her mono issues so I think that you should at least ask and see what your doctor says but if not I would definitely go with the copper IUD because it’s not hormonal and it can be set in place for I think 5 to 10 years,congratulations!
I thought its your tubes that get tied 🤔

😂😂😂 i wasnt being a smartass. I thought i had it wrong. Dont need to be rude 🤦♀️
My plan is to get it out back once I have my baby this month! X
I had the marina coil in for nearly 7 years after my son and swear by it! No problems at all. I got it out last year and fell pregannt pretty quick soon after. Definitely a good shout for the coil xx
I had the copper coil and had no issues with it...i preferred it as it has no hormones and the one I had last for 5 years. Apparently it dies make your periods heavy I never had that issue but a couple of my friends did and I did find that I got stronger period pains but nothing unbearable. Its not 100 percent but what contraception is 🤷🏽♀️ and can sometimes be known to move but mine was fine. Any issues you can always get it checked at the doctors. X

Hey hunny! It’s not a onesie it’s a top comes with a dungaree too however I just had him in the top as it’s just way to hot! But it’s from primark! It’s a mustard colour dungaree & then this is the top 💙 I think it was like £7 or something like that I’m unsure x
You know what she meant. No need to be a smart ass about it.
