My sister in Law who has had major PMS problems....ENDO problems..is a Coeliac disease sufferer..has just had a Mirena fitted and said it was the best thing she has ever done....

She gets no PMS..no pain....no bloating or bleeding and her Specialist said that as the SMALL dose of hormones is released straight into the Uterus it has very little effect whatsoever....

Might be the way to go.....

He he We had our first Doc session and have VAS booked in for the 10th July..about the time i might be induced!!!

Thanks everyone. I think I would have to check with my doctor about the Mirena IUD as the reason I can't use a normal IUD is because it came out of my uterus.... Doctor said if it has happened once it's usually not advisable to use it again and although the Mirena has hormones in it, would they still be enough to work if it moved out again?

LOL at least you ladies are nice when I ask bout contracetion to use so soon after the birth... Someone else called me a hornbag! LOL shame!!

No more kids for me! I had the perfect birth & with 3 kids I'm so done!]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:33:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17955&PID=405406&title=contraception#405406 <![CDATA[Contraception???? : Deb - Actually Mirena would be...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17955&PID=405344&title=contraception#405344 Author: nikkitheknitter

Deb - Actually Mirena would be more than suited to those who can't take the pill - the hormones in a Mirena are released straight into the uterus in small doses (rather than larger doses that course throughout your body).

It also doesn't contain estrogen, which is where most of the side effects come from.

Maybe it was unsuitable for your particular situation (there are always exceptions) but it is definitely an option for most people.

ETA - the website has really good information - link

A lecturer at uni used a diaphragm (lol I did sex ed too, but primary) and perfectly planned her kids. She said it was really reliable when it was the fashion back in the 80's/90's.

We are in the same boat we really have no option's that suit us other then the condom's which I hate as I often end up with UTI's. And the snip etc is not an option as we are not really sure how many babies we really want and we never want to do anything permint till we are totally sure. Diaphram sound's a little awful to use for me.    I guess there is alway abstance Yeah right think my DH would die at teh thougth.
by the way congrat's on the bith that is so cool and amazing well done!!!

Diaphrams are a good form of contraception when used with spermicide. They do have to be fitted first (so you get the right size) and it does take some practise to put it in and take it out properly. The Family planning website has some good info on it.

The dowmside to it is that its not very romantic e.g you kinda have to plan it so that its in or stop and put it in.

I don't personally use one but teach Sexuality at secondary schools.

I would imagine that you would be wise to leave it for 2-3months to let thinsg settle before getting fitted as I am sure that it will change in the next wee bit - I think they are about around the $100- $200 mark but am not sure and can't remember how long they last (secondary students never ask these questions as are really only interested in the pill and condoms ]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 17:10:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17955&PID=404690&title=contraception#404690 <![CDATA[Contraception???? : DH won&#039;t have the snip, so...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17955&PID=404685&title=contraception#404685 Author: toniellis

DH won't have the snip, so thats out LOL
I just wish I had a bit more of a selection when it comes to contraception. I will probably stick with the condoms if the diaphram isn't as good.
