BC after L&D?

nannyannie

What are your birth control plans for post-delivery?

I maintain that this is the only LO we want. However..I am 22. So no doctor is going to tie my tubes.

I got pregnant while on NuvaRing, with perfect usage, so not thrilled about going back on hormonal bc that obviously does not work...lol

What will you be doing to stay childless post-pregnancy?

Prob back to the pill for me.

I don't know! I don't want to go back on the pill, though. Call me crazy, but that whole sometimes the egg is fertilized, just not implanted scares the crap out of me.

Dumb question I'm sure has been asked thirty times... Can you breastfeed while on the pill?

fisha25

since i wanted to breast feed my Dr said take th mini-pill...I'm 24 weeks pregnant so i don't recommend it, though i was given medication that weaken it, i still don't recommend it.

Well I was thinking of the ring but now I'm not so sure. The pills always seem to make my body do funny things and I'm not into the shot either, and I know to many woman that had their tubes tied and got prego anyways

I am thinking about an IUD. I dunno though. I just wish doctors would understand...I may be indecisive, but once I make up my mind, it ain't changin'. And I want no more children.

i know it may sound insane, but i dont think i will be using BC after L&D, partly because i want to have my second baby sooner, rather than later.  and if change my mind after i give birth (everyone tells me i will, they try to scare me lol) i will just track my ovulation and not have sex when fertile

If you take the mini pill which is progesterone only.

I don't know I thought I wanted implannon which is an implant in your arm that you can still breastfeed with but it lasts for a long time and DH is worried we will want another before than, but I hate BCPs

Not sure. We want a large family, but I'm not quite into the Irish twins thing. I got pg immediately after stopping my BC, but I don't really want to go back onto them while breastfeeding, and while I know there's a lower chance of getting pg while BF, I know it happens. I have a coworker who was on BC and breastfeeding and got pg with one of her boys.

On a random note, it is really hard to type when your pinkie is asleep!

No BC, we are going to TTC #2 after we get the OK to have sex again.  We figure it took 3 years for the first, so take advantage of any left over fertility in my body.

DH or I (if C-Section) will get snipped after #2.

Yeah it was crazy! My sister had never even had a period since her 2nd so she didn't find out till she was 12 weeks and normally unless she does progesterone she miscarries but he was past that stage! Even her DR was baffled and said the only thing she could think of was that her hormones were still high from her last pregnancy and breastfeeding. My little nephew was just meant to be!

I charted to get pregnant and now I chart to avoid it. I hate the pill.

My best friend was Mirena. It hurts going in but, you forget about it after a little bit and you only have to have it changed every five years. I have the link for the info if anyone wants it. Me personally? Condoms b/c I want one or two more sooner than later. Then, back on Mirena.

neonstarfish

I want to give Mirena a shot. I was never keen on the ring or shots and I especially hate pills. The headaches just... no. No pills again. LOL

I've been thinking about this one a lot. I could live with not having to change it for 3 years...and maybe by then they'd realize I really don't want more kiddos. :P
