Thoughts about birth control?

I know it’s early to be thinking about this however I’m pretty certain I don’t want to go on birth control again as it does not affect my mental/physical health very well.

Bleeding

So I went on the pill about 2 months after my baby. I'm 5 months postpartum. I've not had a period and never did on the pill. Today I bled and thought it was the start of my period which I thought to be strange from previous experience but I put it down to having a baby and my body changing. Turns out I just bled t...

Is it completely up to me to stop taking the pill (microgynon) contraceptive.

I don’t like taking them. It’s so unnatural and stops the body from doing natural things. I started taking them again since my son was born. He is now 22 months. Me and my partner don’t have sex at the moment due to co sleeping etc so I feel as I’m just taking it for the sake of it. I will obviously tell my part...
