Family Planning Scheme
By supersonic_bird •
With due respect to all members of QL people...
I just got married few months ago. We had our first born baby recently.
now, we are facing a reality check: What Family Planning/ Scheme should we have...
If possible state the pros and cons of each method...
Anyone is encourage to share their knowledge and expertise regarding this matter. You can be a guiding star for new couples and couples to be.
A million thanks in advance!
I am married 8 yrs. didnt opt for anything but a rubber. I need to chk abt this injection thing.
WHatz it guys ??[img_assist|nid=60386|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
In my experience the Injection, but also the progesterone implant (Implanon) can be used for 5 years. Be careful with this one cos the doctors have to be specially trained in inserting these(they go under the skin in the upper arm) and taking them out.
Pill- Ok if you're compliant, ie remember to take it! Has some side effects though.
Condom - Aren't 100% safe but efficacy relies on whether its put on right!
Coil - Reliable, can get some bleeding but the Mirena coil the safest, emits gradual hormones, can last 5 years. Painful insertion and you have to check the strings are in place regularly
Caps/diaprhagms - Old fashioned ruins spontanaeity! /Not 100% safe
Thats all I can think of for now!! hope thats ok !
Injection!Injection! the only thing is if you want to plan for babies it can take up to a year to get pregnant after stopping it!
sleep in separate rooms...lol....
Yes, I'm executing number one with great success :P

oi sylwia ... speaks from experience eh?
Yes, I'd have to agree with pwb, no sex is most efficient way. Can be achieved, especially if combined with sleepless nights (due to the recent addition to the family).
If you really insist to do those primitive movements (:P) a pill could be considered (but consult a doctor which one is suitable if brestfeeding is involved).
Otherwise, condoms work really well.
Or just convince yourself that another baby will be a great idea :)

Abstinence works pretty good too.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Whats the best contraception method for newly weds who dont wanna have kids immediately?(other than the rubber, of course )
Untill the time you find a long term solution - which only your doc can give you, use a condom.

Ah!My specialist subject..I was a Family Planning nurse in a past life! Definatley the injection, every 11 weeks you can get it over the counter.....
but please don't fry me cause i don't wanna be.
what's wrong with this forum? my intention was to give enlightenment to those who are in the agony of choosing the right path...the rigth way to plan a family...
of course what we want is the best for our family, am i right?
googling 'contraception' maybe? If you have an access to QL surely you have an access to the net.
you asked for it ... now wait for the other QLer they are gonna fry you in the hot sun ..with the topic like this...( or may be you wanted it be so )
not pills also......i don't know (im sorry)...wait i will ask my married collegue.......
she said....use condom.............thats the safest one considering the side effects.....condoms doesn't have side effects on health,,,,(Right)))wat u think???
Why don't you consult a good doctor .. who would sugest what is best for you?
There are lots of factor which determine which is best for you .. so the best would be to consult a gyneac
so if injecton is not goood, then what is a better way?
use the injection, my sister after 1 year of using that injection, she started to have pimples....and until now, she gaving trouble of her pimples....her face before was very flawless...now, urggggggggg....
so do not use that injection.........never....
