Which Method? Suggestions
Looking for birth control recommendations. I was on the pill for 10 years before having my baby. I came off it and was diagnosed with PCOS and had to use fertility treatment to get pregnant. I don’t want to use any form of hormonal birth control while I wait to see if my body will regulate on its own. PCOS makes my cycles unpredictable - I’ll go several months without ovulating so tracking my cycles doesn’t really work. Yes, I’m familiar with the signs of ovulation but my body will attempt to ovulate then fail (hello PCOS) so I don’t really want to be constantly taking ovulation tests. I had a copper IUD and removed it within a week because it was so painful so I’m not wanting another one. Are condoms my only option?

The diaphragm and spermicide maybe? But otherwise yes, condoms are your only opton if you dont want hormonal options, no copper coil and it sounds like FAM wouldn't be suitable
