the doctor can put them in. side effects can include heavier painful periods but not in all casescan go the other way, yes you can get them taken out earlier than 5 years. hmmm dont think they can fall out lol i think there is a possibility that it may move but not fall out as such. my question is cant ur partner feel the string thing???]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:23:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=589121&title=contraception#589121 <![CDATA[Contraception : Im really interested about these...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=587501&title=contraception#587501 Author: PippaLockysMummy

Im really interested about these IUD's now, who puts them in? do the dr's do it? and are there any side effects? I didnt realise you could get them taken out early i thought they had to stay in for 5yrs haha. one more question i promise...can they fall out? or are they like tied on somehow?

For the last 18months my partner and I used no contraception(I couldn't be bothered going back on the pill, and he refused to buy condoms). We made sure he didn't do the deed inside when I was ovulating. 100% success rate for us. The reason I got pregnant...well, the deed was done at the wrong time of the month. woops.
But we would also be screwed (financially) if number two was to come soon after, so I will def be mini pill AND condoms once our bub comes.

I have a mirena IUD which is the one with hormones and I love it. I went on the mini pill after Jack and it was horrible I was bleeding pretty much the whole time and then Caprece came along.

My AF lasts about 4 days if it even comes at all and its only ever spotting. I've had no problems with weight or hormones and it appears to be working for contraception LOL. The only thing is unless you have had really heavy AFs and have been anaemic it costs around $300. The standard one is free. After having a baby getting an IUD in is a walk in the park

As with most contraceptions the failure rate is mostly due to human error - or so I'm told anyway. We used condoms ourselves.

I had an IUD and loved it. Felt really "off" when on the pill due to the change in hormones (or should I say non change - I think the hormone levels were too level for me. Made me have irrational anger). Hate condoms!

I got an IUD before having any kids and it is a bit uncomfortable to have put in and there is a bit of cramping afterwards as it settles in - but after that it is a breeze - don't even know it's there.

Got pregnant within 2 months of getting it out. that was a chemical pregnancy and I don't think related to having had an IUD - and then got pregnant again the next cycle.

I would just advise NOT to get the one with hormones. There is a hormone version and a non-hormone one. ]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:16:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=582812&title=contraception#582812 <![CDATA[Contraception : lilfatty wrote: Flissty wrote:There's...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=582796&title=contraception#582796 Author: fire_engine

I really liked being off the pill as I thought coming off it had a really positive effect on my libido. Turns out I was actually pg within 2 weeks of coming off it lol.

I've never liked the idea of IUD's but I don't really know enough about them. Do any of you ladies have them or have you had them? Do they have any concerning side effects? Condoms are awful things.

Yes, Abstinence....tried that one also and look where I am now lol. I keep saying that I was asleep and/or drunk but no one believes me

At least I can complain about being pg more if it was DH's fault and not mine!!! ]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:34:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=582647&title=contraception#582647 <![CDATA[Contraception : iv always been on the pill, well...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=582644&title=contraception#582644 Author: palomino

According to my GP, there is a 3 hour window for the minipill. There is a new minipill that is not funded, but can be taken within a 12 hour window.

There's always abstinence

Or diaphragm (sp?). We talked about this in antenatal last night too lol. Apparently with the minipill you have to be really strict about taking it at the same time each day otherwise it doesn't work (just ask my sister lol!)
Oh and she said with the diaphragm (that is what it's called ay? you know what I mean?) that if you gain or lose 3kg you have to get it refitted - which could be a pain post baby - I know I'm planning on losing some weight lol. ]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 08:54:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=582301&title=contraception#582301 <![CDATA[Contraception : I think the options are: mini...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=582282&title=contraception#582282 Author: kebakat

HI Ladies,

I missed the last night of our antenatal classes and wasn't there when they were talking about contraceptives.

I know I can't go back on the pill while feeding (and don't really want to anyway). Getting Pg again would not be good as financially we would be stuffed.

Are condoms the only option after bubs arrives to avoid getting pregnant? (Ghastly things that they are) This baby was planned and i'd dearly love the next one to be planned also but when we are in a better situation to have two. ]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 08:35:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23592&PID=582277&title=contraception#582277
