Does anyone on here use Persona

[Lady M's Mummy]

As the title says really...does anyone have any experience of using a persona machine as contraception? thinking of trying it as i hate the pill, no pint in getting a coil if we want to ttc next year and condoms are

Just wondered how other people found using them and it they are a PITA????

I use it but mainly to track my cycles and for conception not contraception. We did use it one cycle when I didn't want to get pregnant. It gives you quite a few more days red than it says is the minimum (but I've only been using it for about 4 cycles this time) and we just used condoms during that time.

It says not to do this but we reckoned the chances of conceiving were fairly low anyway and it wouldn't be the end of the world if I had got pregnant - just inconvenient.
