Hey girls, well as LO is turning 6 weeks on Wed I decided to initiate and DTD for the first time since a week before I had him. It was ok but still a little tender. As I had no cycle before I got pregnant and had to have IUI to get my cutie I dont want to take any contraception that mucks around with my hormones but definetly dont want to get pregnant so soon, therefore we used a codom. But I have to say I really dont like them (sound like a man I know). Ive read quite a bit about the coil on these boards and was wondering does it effect hormones? Do u ovulate with it? I probably sound daft but I would like to hear if any of you have experience of it.
Also on another note I had an episiotomy and a vaginal birth. Now 6 weeks on Im feeling normal in general but one thing that hasnt got back to normal is when I am in full flow (sorry tmi) weeing I now can't stop completely when I used to be able to. I can at the start and the end but not in the middle. Is this normal? Will I ever get that conttol back?

Just wanted to answer regarding the coil... There are 2 main types, hormonal (called mirena coil) or non hormonal (copper coil). Before trying for my bubs I had the copper and will be having it again in a couple of weeks. You still ovulate and have periods as normal, it just kills any sperm that comes near it! Had it for 5 years no problems and then simply taken out when ttc. Xxxx
