To be honest, yes just not much sex...lol unfortunatly! I also hate condoms they make me sore. I wont go on the pill as i'm bfing. Were not going to have anymore , much to my disapointment. My hubby has 5 now so i think its a big no no to anymore. (Aww no fair.) He's going for the snip, but this isn't an option if your planning to have more.
sorry not much help

Not having much sex!!! Can't bear condoms!! We would like to try for number 2 next year so am in a bit of a predicament about what to use as I'd like to bf for as long as poss and I don't like the thought of a coil ( though my friends love this)
I have the mini pill in my drawer so might use it now we are at the 5m mark...........x

DD is 8 weeks now and me and dp have been using condoms but we both hate them. I was thinking about going on the pill but not sure.
For a start i can never remember to take it on time, going from past experience.
Would it effect my milk as in the supply?
What if we decided to have another baby, will the pill make it difficult?
When i was on the pill last time it was way before i had ds. It took us 2 years of trying to concieve ds and a year with dd.






Dp was talking about the snip yesterday but i told him i didnt want him to get it done. Im only 26, 2 kids but who knows i might hit 30 and decide to want another one.
I think im going to have to speak to the doctor for this one.
