It's not so much that I'm not in the mood for suggestions as that, without wanting to be rude, I have actually already thought of a lot of them. Yes, I've also already discounted a lot of them, not because I'm "not open to suggestions" (the usual accusation is "you obviously don't want to be helped", so thank you for at least coming up with a different phrasing for it) but because they don't work for me.

As for the coil ... *shudders* ... urgh. I think I'd have to have a general anaesthetic for them to get it in. And then again when I wanted them to take it out in a couple of years' time. And I'd have to have a bit of my brain removed so that I never ever thought about it being there. Even more queasy-making than tampons, and that's bad enough that I can't use them.

(Pre-empting all the usual stuff: no, I'm not neurotic about sex; no, I'm not ashamed of my genitals; no, I don't think being female is dirty; yes, I am very grateful to all the early feminist martyrs who died so that I might use contraception, yada yada yada; however, still, no.)

Knowing a couple of people who've had really traumatically bad experiences with the coil hasn't helped, either. Even if they're a total statistical anomaly, it's far too much risk for no guaranteed gain.
