Hi there, I am due with our second child in just over 10 weeks. This will be our last child. We are planning for my husband to have the big V when this baby is 1 or so. I am unable to go on the combined pill, due to a family history of complications on it. I have heard about an IUS device called the Mirena. I have looked at their website, and it looks pretty good. Just wondering if anyone has experience with using this, or has heard good/bad things about them? ------------- Ali ----------------------------- Sean (17-08-2001) Coeliac - Gluten and Dairy sensitive James (29-12-2003) Gluten and Dairy sensitive |

| Sorry can't help with the IUS. I am on the depo provera injection which I find great. It's only once every three months so you don't have to worry about it very often. It also makes your period very light which is always a bonus. The downsides are that it increases your appetite (I only notice it when I first get it) so if you don't watch what you eat you can put on weight and one that doesn't really affect you, infertility can last for up to a year after your last jab. |

i was onn the depo jab for four years after a miscarriage. I had my last jab when I was 18, and didn't get a period after that until I was 20. Then I was too frightened to use contraception, coz the depo really made me feel like I had lost control of my body (i had no periods at all). I didn't use anything at all for 18 months, and when I was 21 I went on the mini pill. After 18 mths with no contraception and no pregnancy, I thought I couldn't get pregnant, either from the depo or miscarriage complications, but I ended up getting pregnant while I was on the minipill (lol but very unplanned!).
I've read heaps about the mirena, it's supposed to be good, and my doctor said it's safer than the copper IUD, but I ended up not doing anything coz thekids Dad and I separated, so no action there  . It costs about $310 I think. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I had that too, it's called breakthrough bleeding, and it's just little bits, but it stopped after the 2nd jab. Had it again just before my period started.
My experience with depo was really really bad, maybe because I was so young at the time. My sister wanted to go on it too but I told her no, because I really did think I wouldn't be able to concieve after depo, because of how long it took to get my period back. I also put on a lot of weight on it. Talk to your doctor when you go for your next jab if you have any questions, but I will say one thing for sure - it is ultra reliable, you won't get pregnant while you're on it. I got pregnant while I was taking femodene (minipill). ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Hi all, The website for the Mirena is http://www.mirena.com - www.mirena.com . I have managed to find a few people who are on it, and they say it's wonderful. The only drawback is the cost - it isn't subsidised, so it costs $310, plus around $80 for fitting. It does however last for 5 years - so it works out at roughly $80 a year if you look at it that way. I am 99% convinced this is the way I will go after the birth of my baby in Jan.

good on ya ali... - i was on depo - for only 2 jabs before decideing to have another child - and it took over 3 years like maya... - i gained weight and the depression of not being able to conceived was so overwelming...
also after each jab i could not sit down for about 2 -3 days because it hurt sooo much...... So anythign to reduce pain and have peice of mind and still be in control of your body is a good thing...  -------------  Justine

Some contraceptives just sound sceary to me. I was on the pill for a short while and then I changed to using natural family planning method - where you take your temp and stuff - and condoms when I was fertile. Found this worked really well for me with no side effects, and a bonnus of getting pregnant quickly when we decided to starrt trying

I would go on the pill again, but I don't think I would trust myself to use condoms all the time - Imight get carried away and forget . this time, I know all about how antibiotics affects the pill, so no more baby-shaped surprises ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Thanks for all your replies ladies. I'll elaborate on my story a bit more: My mother has a blood clotting problem, which rules out the combined pill for me. It also rules out the injection. We are unable to use condoms, as both dh and I get eczema from them. I was on the mini pill after I had Sean, but was NOT very good at remembering it every day. Dh will get a vasectomy one day, but we're not ready for him to do that in the very near future. So apart from remaining celibate for the next 5 years (which is definately NOT an option) the IUS seems to be the only thing that will work. I am seeing my midwife next Monday, so I think I'll ask for her advice. ------------- Ali ----------------------------- Sean (17-08-2001) Coeliac - Gluten and Dairy sensitive James (29-12-2003) Gluten and Dairy sensitive |

Hi, I would also like some advice on contraception as nothing is working for me. I have had two pregnancy's on the pill. I did try the injection and i had no period for 2 months then i had a period every 2 to 3 weeks after that. I had the injection twice so i had to wait for another 3 months for it to wear off. I then tried the IUD and well now im 2 weeks away form having my third boy, only 15 months after my second. We are planning for hubby to get the chop in a years time as it is reccomended to wait a year after your child is born. But as my 2nd boy was only 6mths when i got pregnant this time, I am realy worried about getting pregnant again. (hubby seams to think staying celibate for a year maybe a little difficult) If any one has any idea's, please tell me.

No reason for women to ge their tubes tied! We go through the hard work of childbirth so why spend 3-4weeks not being able to do anything when your man can just get the chop and be good as new in a couple of days

Hi Ladies
I'm with Lou on the natural contraception method. My partner and I have practised it for a while now and it's worked really well... You have to either use a condom during your fertile period (about 10 days) or abstain - but the rest of the time you're free to have fun
I have to take my temperature every morning and monitor the 'mucus' the body produces (doesn't sound nice but it's as simple as checking on toilet paper just before you go to the loo)
The temperature and muscus changes will show you when you are about to ovulate and when you have ovulated(most risk time) and then a few days after ovulation you're sweet as! I find it great cause I didn't like the effects the pill had on me and I have had friends that got pregnant on IUD etc.... My natural family planning consultant ($30 per visit only need about 3-4 visits total) has been using it for 14 years and she has never had an unplanned pregnancy and neither have any of her customers - that's pretty good news :o) Goodluck ladies in chosing your method of contraception - I must say that I reckon that natural was is best (but I am biased!) |

I definantly think natural is best, where possible. I think we are all to quick to use drugs when we don't really know what effect they will have short or long term. I always like to try natural ways first - especially now that I am breast feeding. The last thing I want is for drugs to be getting though to my baby no matter what they are. I wonder if any one has done a study on the effects of birth control drugs while breast feeding? I wonder how much of the drug gets into the breast milk and if they do what effect elevated levels of the drug in baby has on them in the long term?
Man - so much to think about I shall stop now before I give my self a headach (don't want to have to take a painkiller )

Thankfully, my hubby is insisting on getting the Vasectomy - isn't he good But don't wait long after your baby is born. My sister just had her second bub and just found out she's going to have a third!!! They were planning on the IUD, but didn't think pregnancy was possible in those few weeks after childbirth!!!

I keep meaning to write on here. I had an IUD put in a week ago and it seems good to me. I felt a little uncomfortable for a couple of dyas but for 5 years of not having to think about it (exceot checking after periods) I am happy. I know what you both mean about tampons, I don't mean to divulge to much but they don't seem to stay in as well now! ------------- Happy Mum,did that beautiful girl really grow in my tum!

My friend had an IUD in between each of her children and never got pregnant while she had it in. She has 5 kids, all planned, but her IUD fell out a few months ago (it was due to be changed after 5 years) and by the time she went to the doc's she was pregnant again! So it obviously doesn't affect fertility once it's out.
I'm not too worried about contraception - if you don't have a man, it's not really an issue ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Jess,
The IUD wad fitted at the doctors. It was like a smear but they open up your cervix a bit more. I could feel it for a couple of days but I can't now. There are a couple of strings that hang down so you can check it is still in place. ------------- Happy Mum,did that beautiful girl really grow in my tum! Evie 21/6/03 |

| Had my last jab today and the doctor at family planning was like "so you're have another baby then" and i told her how lots of people have had to wait couple of years and she wouldn't even hear of it. Kept telling me I could get pregnant straight away even after I told her I knew that. Don't know why she was so reluctant to even hear that it could take a long time. Very odd |

| Pretty much what I was reading on here and hearing from a girl that I work with. We figure that if we do get pregnant when this one runs out (in Feb) then it's fine as Angie will be almost three but if it doesn't happen for a couple of years then the gap won't be too big. We were gonna stop when Angie was 2 1/2 anyway so we are only 7 months ahead of schedule. |

Oh Emma are you saying what i think your saying.........If you are it must be really hard on you. Unless you are one of those awesome women that can distance themselves and seperate sex from a relationship. About the no protection thing maybe you could try a diaphram, ( i have no experience about what they are like but may be worth a shot if you dont want another baby just yet.) ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

Jess, Hope this helps just copied it of a web site. They arnt as effective as the pill or condoms but better than nothing.
What is it? The diaphragm is a circular rubber dome that is filled with spermicidal jelly and placed over the woman's cervix. How It Works When the diaphragm is correctly placed over the cervix, it acts as a physical barrier to prevent sperm from entering the woman's uterus, thereby preventing conception. The spermicide is a chemical barrier that provides added protection. How to Use 1) Wash your hands thoroughly before inserting the diaphragm. 2) Spermicide should be placed into the diaphragm and should be spread around on the inside of the rim. 3) Squeeze the sides of the diaphragm together with one hand and open the vulva with the other hand (diaphragms can come with applicators or can be inserted manually). Then insert the diaphragm. 4) Check to make sure that you have inserted the diaphragm correctly by feeling it with your finger. It is in the right place if you can feel your cervix through the diaphragm. The cervix feels like the end of your nose. 5) Once the diaphragm has been correctly inserted, it can provide protection for six hours. If more than six hours has elapsed, you should insert more spermicide on the outside of the diaphragm without taking it out. 6) You should apply an additional applicator full of spermicide with each repeated act of intercourse. 7) You must keep the diaphragm in for at least six hours after intercourse. It is okay to leave it in for longer, but it is not recommended to exceed 24 hours because of the possibility of getting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). 8) When taking out your diaphragm, use your finger to carefully hook under your diaphragm and pull it out. NOTE: Your doctor will show you how to insert your diaphragm when you go in for your fitting. He or she will have you practice inserting it yourself before leaving. Advantages · The diaphragm can protect against certain STD’s, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. · Your partner can insert it for you as part of foreplay. · You can insert it yourself beforehand if you know you will be having intercourse, so as not to interrupt the spontaneity. · When it is in place you can do all the things you usually do, such as go to the bathroom. · You can still use your diaphragm during your period. The menstrual fluid will gather inside of the diaphragm. You can use a tampon while the diaphragm is in place. Disadvantages · You need a prescription for the size that fits you best. This requires you to see a physician. · Inserting a diaphragm can interrupt the spontaneity of sex. · It does not protect against all sexually transmitted diseases. · The spermicide can have an unpleasant taste or smell. · It can increase your risk of getting a bladder infection. · You can’t use the diaphragm if you are allergic to rubber. · It usually needs to be replaced every two years. Taking Care of your Diaphragm · Always wash your diaphragm in warm water with unscented soap. Never expose it to detergents or oil based substances. After washing it, dry the diaphragm thoroughly. · Hold the diaphragm up to the light and look for any tears or holes in it. Stop using it if you find a hole. · Be careful when inserting or removing your diaphragm. If you have sharp nails, hang nails, or jewelry; you may accidentally damage the diaphragm. · You should see your doctor every year to make sure that your diaphragm still fits correctly. You may need a new diaphragm if you've.… · Gained or lost more than seven pounds. In this case your diaphragm might not fit as well as it used to. · Had a baby. · Miscarried. · Had an abortion Cost The diaphragm alone can cost between $30 and $40. Before you can buy one, though, you have to pay for a doctor’s examination because you need a prescription in order to get one. Keep in mind that diaphragms have to be replaced every two years. The cost of using a diaphragm also includes the price of spermicide. Effectiveness The failure rate for a perfect user is 6% and the failure rate for a typical user is 20%. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

Thanks for the info.
I don't knwo if I can distance myself from the relationship. We had an awesome day yesterday, he spent all day with the kids, and I got a bit sentimental, guess I remembered why I fell in love with him in the first place. On the other hand, I know it was probably a one-off - next weekend he'll be back drinking, and I know that I can live just fine without him. in fact, I don't know if we could live together again - I like my independence, and I've gotten really bossy! But there's a lot of history, 4 years and 2 children (considering I've raised Mona), so it's hard to know how to act around him. I mean, he's not my partner anymore, but he's still the father of my beautiful girls.... ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I wouldnt have a clue how to act either, but did you know that you can get free counsiling either by yourself or together. One of my friends has been through this and the counsiler helped her and her ex word things correctly so that the other understood where each other was coming from. They now have a much healthier relationship . ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

We got offered free counselling by the family court as part of the custody process, but he refused to go. I went, but because he wouldn't go I didn't get much out of it. I think I'm probably dealing with things better than he is, but he has a lot of other things going on in his life as well. then again, so do I.... ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Good luck! I can't wait till they introduce a male contraceptive pill. But then again, how reliable are our men...? ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| Have you heard much about an Implant? This is injected under the skin in your arm and stops your body from releasing an egg- it lasts between 3-5 years. It is relatively new in Nz but if you google it you can find out more info, this is somthing I will consider after having this baby :) |

I just did a google and it says it costs $250 for the implant (well that was last years article). I am on the depo and I want to change but can't get the IUD for medical reasons, been on the combined pill and didn't really like it as I would forget and mini pill I hated so much... -------------
