I have a history of endometriosis, I have tried mirena, implanon, and several different pill types. I hated them all, The worst side effect was emotional for me, depression, weepiness,mood swings. etc especially for the pills. If I go on anything it will be a pill and I plan to breastfeed. My body just seems to hate the extra hormones. We choose to try to get pregnant and we stopped using condoms, thats how we got pregnant. I would try just condoms again cause I felt like they worked. But I don't want to chance it and end up pregnant six months later. So please give me thoughts on pills, I'm breastfeeding (atleast thats the plan) which does kind of make me nervous my son would be getting those hormones..(from what I have researched there hasnt been enough time to know whether or not it affects babies later in life) My body, periods and overall health was better when I stopped all that hormonal crap. But I'm unsure of what to do, We would like to wait atleast two years before having another baby. So I have to try and figure something out.
Re: birth control after baby
I BF DS2 so I did Mirena. It wasn't bad but I didn't have any side effects from it. I was much worse on the pill with side effects.
This.
You could also do the mini pill, though I don't know much about that.
