Just looking for some advice

I can sort of understand where your coming from, could you be thinking of excuses as to why you shouldn't have another child because of what happened with your last pregnancy. i.e space etc. Im recovering from PND (still in treatment) and my husband and i have been talking about having a 3rd child to. He is all for it but im terrified because i have been unable to look after myself let alone my childrenfor the last year. ( inowwant to adopt instead) have you talked to your husband about itwhat does he think

Don't make any decisions at present, you are still grieving and raw.

If you do decide to have another child you won't completely relax at least until you have the scan and are told the problem hasn't recurred (and you won't breathe for the entire scan) (you may still be worried afterwards because although these things are rare when they happen to you it becomes so real and a 'normal' pregnancy miles away and you can't go back to that completely carefree feelings about pregnancy.

I had an implanon implant in for 2.5 years. The pros are: you can just forget about it being in, and you don't have to worry about remembering to take pills. Also I got pregnant within 2 months of having it taken out, so it doesn't affect your fertility. Cons: it can really mess up your menstrual cycle. I had virtually no periods for the first year (but then again I was breastfeeding at the time), and then a year of really heavy periods. It's not for everyone, but it can be taken out of you decide that it doesn't suit you. And remember that most GPs recommend sticking at any new method of contraceptive for 3-4 months, to let it settle down.

I agree with others that some of the more permanent methods of preventing child birth seem a bit drastic, especially considering your current emotional state. I think you need to take a step back and decide what you really want - but take your time with any big decisions.
