Does anyone have any advice?Thanks v MuchSarah

I would like to start of by saying that every women is different. i was on the pill for 3 yeras an cum of it for just 1 mnt an hey preston i got pregnant.i have now bin on it for 6 yaers all together an am cumming of it again to try for my second baby. There a loads of different pills you can try, so i suggest talking to your doctoer about them.If you wanted a more perment fixtuer then there is a coil you can have fitted inside your womb, and a injection your can have in your bottom or your arm every couple of monts. All of these options can be uses with both male an female condoms aswell as spearmicide.

i think it would be best if you talked to the boy you are going to have sex with about this issue you together should go to your local family planning clinic as they deal with this all the time. you are a very sensible girl to be thinking this through so carefully.there are many methods of controception out there but most do come with side effects. can include the contoseptive injection this has to be renewed every two months and stops the egg being released it can stop your periods all together. Another method could be the coil. its fitted under a local and is advised not to do so if you already have very painful periods but is safe. whatever you choose you must use a condom as it is the only contraseptive which protects from nasty stis wheter the male or female wear one its also one of the easiest. good luck

I think your very sensible thinking about contraception. I have been on the pill before but i'm only 18 and have never tried to have children so i can't say whether it causes complications in conceiving later on.
I was also on the injection for a few months. It protects you exactly the same as the pill 99% and you have it injected in you every 3 months and it protects you all the time.
I found it very reliable as i never got pregnant, but i also found the pill very reliable.
There's also many other forms of contraception available so have a chat with your GP and you'll be able to decide which is best for you.
You're very wise for also wanting to use condoms, ALWAYS use a condom, they are the only form of contraception that protects you from Sexually transmitted infections.
Take care hun
