5 PP and "terrified" of getting pregnant again. Can someone share their experience with the coil ? Or other effective contraception? I was on the pill in the past and not very good at taking pills consistently plus it affected me mentally.

Would like to try something else ? If that makes sense... I have an appointment at the sexual health clinic too, but would like to hear from more people. Thank you !

inhixa injection

Good morning guys. Is anyone else on these blood thinner injections? I’ve been taking asprin but after my consultation they put me on these and I know one of the side effects is spotting.
