Repost from 6-12months: Birth control?

What form of BC are you using (or did you use)? Any side effects? Would you recommend it?

Currently I'm considering the mini-pill vs mirena but would like to hear feeddback from other moms.
Thanks

  • I use the mini-pill.  I am a bit nervous, because I'm so not good at taking it at the same time every day and I know it's super-important with the mini-pill.  I don't have any side effects and on the plus side, it's free.  (No idea if it's free because of my insurance or the pharmacy, but I just know that I have 2 maintenance drugs...mini-pill and thyroid meds...and I pay $4 a month for both.)

  • mini pill. Absolutely no side effects like what I had with the normal pill. I never want to get off of it!

    I'm on the mini pill and I think it's the best option for me.  I don't like IUD's because it's unclear how they prevent pregnancy and I don't like the idea of having a foreign material just sitting inside me.  The mini pill has not decreased my supply at all although I do think it makes me moodier than normal.  I might consider charting again once DS weans.
