Best form of contraception?

Question

Hi girls! I've recently started sleeping with my long term boyfriend and at the moment we are only using condoms. I know that I should be on another form of contraceptive but I'm really unsure as to which one to go for - the pill or the implant? Or can I get both? Just looking for some advice from my fellow eve girls :) thank you xxx

Answer

If it is something that interests you- look up the patch! I used it for 3 years and loved it! No issues what so ever! ❤️ I've only come off because we are ttc 💗

Answer

I have been using condoms on for 9 years i had 1 maybe 2 scares. If your doing it for a long time stop and change the condom. I found that's when it broke going for a long time. In the beginning it was hard to stop but we did a little foreplay and started again. But my body feels great without birth control.

Answer

I have a few friends that had the implant, they hated it because it caused them to have MAJOR mood swings! Everyone i know (female that is) prefers the pill, i only use condoms, because i found the pill caused me to gain weight, however my fiance and i are insanely careful with it. (Ita all weve used for over a year) Weve never had a scare, or any problems.

Answer

If you're looking for something more long-lasting and kinda carefree, I would ask your doctor about an IUD. I have the Mirena (and I have never had kids and it was the perfect option for me!) because they literally put it in you, you check the strings every once in a while, and it's good for 5 years.

Answer

Thank you for all your help so far girls - personally I don't feel comfortable with an IUD which is why I was thinking of the pill or the implant, but a patch seems like a good idea too! How did you make your decisions as to which one to use? I'm thinking of going to the GP this week to talk about it. 💖💖

Answer

The pill is amazing if you take it perfectly. Taking it perfectly involves taking it at the same time each day and not missing a pill. I had a horror story on the implant but I know many women who don't have periods. The pill is a good place to start due to the fact that it has less side affects than the implant. You will be advised not to have both unless you have long bleeding on the implant and then a mini pill will be prescribed along side it to help ease this.
