birth control ?

#1_BadgeBunny

I stopped BC while shortly after starting it after having the LOs.  I noticed an increase in migraines while on the BC.  I have been off BC since about 3 months PP.  I want to go back on something bc i HATE condoms.  I feel nothing when we use them so whats the point.  I have thought about an IUD so there is no hormones to cause the migraines but lately DH and i have been discussing when we want to start for #3.  Id hate to put an IUD in just to decide in a few months i want it out. 

anybody have any thoughts or experience and IUD.

IUD- I have a Mirena (hormonal). Even though the doc says there will be less reaction to birth control, I got way moody when it was first in. I also bled for 2 months- none of that spotting stuff.

I just switched from using the patch for 5+ years to the nuva ring. The doctor said it has less estrogen which causes a lot of the problemes, including lowered sex drive and weight gain.... maybe you wouldn't have migraine issues?
