Hi, me and my boyfriend are looking into contraception, but I don't want to go on the pill for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I am horrendously forgetful, to the point where I missed 2 MONTHS of my iron tablets and didn't realise! I need something that I don't have to think about really but is still guaranteed to be effective. I also know the pill provokes weight gain, my friend put on 2 stone from taking it, which has put me off because my weight fluctuates quite a bit anyway. I am going to the doctors in the new year, but I would like to have an idea about what would be best before I go, what would you recommend from past experience? Thanks!
