I have two children, both conceived first cycle of trying, and I'm trying to decide on what contraception to use.
I don't want any hormones (it took 6m to regain my cycles after coming off the pill, and it was horrible: painful cramps, mood swings etc). I also don't want the coil (I believe that life begins at conception and so don't like how it may prevent implantation).
We want a third child, but not yet sure of the timing. If I were to fall pg it wouldn't be the end of the world, other than over a few cycles (since then I'd be heavily pregnant/with a newborn when we are planning on a move halfway across the world...).
Sooo I've been thinking of the diaphragm. But I'm put off because:
- Isn't it a faff (remembering to put in and take out)?
- Doesn't have to use spermicide ruin spontaneity (I hate condoms for this reason)?
- It just seems, well, a bit old-fashioned...
I'm currently BF and my cycles haven't come back yet, but I know better than to rely on that as a method of contraception...
Any ideas/answers? Is there any good contraceptive for me??
