What are you doing for contraception now?

My daughter is 10 weeks old and we've recently resumed some BDing... well, without the intent to make a baby.

AF has still not returned. I am breastfeeding but also topping up with approx 500ml formula per day due to breast reduction surgery minimising my supply.

We don't really like condoms and I'm not 100% convinced about the Mirena that my ob has recommended.

My daughter was conceived via IVF after 2-3 long years TTC but we don't plan to have anymore babies.

What are you doing for contraception? Do you have any suggestions for me?

Well we were lucky in that it didn't take long to fall pregnant with our first and #2 was a huge surprise so we are using condoms and I'm on the minipill (due to migraines on normal). We are playing safer this time!

You don't like the pill?

I haven't taken it in years and I always had trouble remembering to take it in the past. I think I'll probably go with the Mini Pill and abstain until I get a script organised.

Would Billings be of interest to you?

This is their breastfeeding page.

I have had success both achieving and avoiding pregnancy for around 7 years.

What BDing short for?

I would say billings too (thats what i'll be doing), I love being able to have that awareness of whats happening to my body and not relying on a tablet for contraception. (did that for 8 years prior to babies).

Billings pretty much is what we do.. though DH doesn't like this method... scary for him.. though after conceiving a child through not paying much attention.. I"m on the ball now and being ultra aware
