FAO: mods, don't know if this is best here or in Health, so please move if you think it's better over there.
Just thought it would be handy for people to know that there's a tool made by the fpa to help decide which method of contraception is best for you. I've been umming and aahing about going back on the pill after 2 years on the coil, and found it really useful. There are lots of quizzes etc. on the net about deciding on contraception, but this is the only one I found particularly realistic and useful.

I have the coil and am very happy with it, but mainly i want my o/h to get the snip.
He should. It's pretty much painless and available on the NHS is most areas.
It suggested the IUS for me, which I was actually planning to go get once my uterus has forgiven me for the whole birthing incident!
Ace :thumb:
i got my IUD put in at about 9 or 10 weeks after birth. The womb needs a bit of time to get back to normal before they do it, but they wont do it earlier than that. Some say wait 12 weeks
I wondered if it might be longer as well cause I had the section? Don't want it to break owt inside! Planning to ask my doc about it at my 6 week check, anyhoo (which is actually at 8 weeks - god bless the NHS!).
I absolutely your children's names! Gorgeous gorgeousness!
