    Thanks for all the advice guys.
    I would never have sex without a condom and I have loads anyway so not a problem. I just don't want to rely on one little bit of latex.
    I've made an appointment to see about contraception so will ask loads of questions when I'm there.
    I don't drink either so don't need to worry about drunken sex

    A Merina coil wouldn't intefere with medication at all and might be something else you could ask about
    If we are to heal the planet, we must begin by healing birthing.

    While I wouldn't recommend it by itself, the rhythm method should drastically reduce your chances of unwanted pregnancy if used in conjunction with condoms.

    there are however plenty of people for whom it is not

    The merina is a good option if you have problems with your periods, i.e. they are heavy or painful.

    The coil is not a good idea if you Havnt had a baby as it is more likely to move and more painful to get in

    I gained 15lbs with it. Started with bad headaches/nausea. ERRATIC periods (this became a problem, nobody likes leaking in public). Very bad mood swings.

    I'm actually coming off the depo injection in 3 weeks, it wasnt by choice but I'm really coming round to the idea of naturally family planning/condoms. I'll be pleased to just be me again, let my body do it's own normal thing and not feel like I'm riddling it with nasties.

    I do know of many people who've been fine on the injection though, just the usual side affects.
