BC Poll (clicky)

It's been quite a while since I have taken birth control. I used the patch for a long time, but it irritated my skin. I'm not really good at remembering to take a pill, and would probably forget to take it at the same time everyday.

But reading about Seasonique kind of intrigued me. I think not having to worry about your period would be nice. I'm in between that and the copper implant (because I don't have to think about it).

SS:  Condoms and/or charting.  We may TTC in September.  So starting BC soon then coming off of it 3 months before TTC doesn't seem worth going on it at all.

Plus, I'm getting too old for HBC

Condoms. I'm BFing and do not trust the mini pill to protect me.

Condoms.

All of this, exactly.

Condoms and charting.  

Side note:  My SIL got pregnant on the mini-pill, while breastfeeding, and using a condom.  Yikes.

Condoms and charting.  We are planning on TTC in July so I don't want to mess with BC plus I'm BF

Depo shot for all the reasons you mentioned. My mw wasn't too keen on an IUD since we want to TTC within the next few years.

Why copper?  I think Mirena is a better "compromise" between the 2 you mentioned...lighter or no period but not having to worry about a daily pill.  I got mine in today, and it didn't hurt at all.  I was pleasantly surprised...just a little cramping tonight, but I had honestly expected much worse.

I had Mirena after DD#1

This time we're just going to use condoms and charting for awhile. DH is going to tech school for military early next year for 4 months so there isn't a huge window between when I'll get my "all clear" for sex again and him leaving. I really want a chance to get my body back to normal, I gained a bunch of weight after I had the Mirena inserted last time and I'm afraid it'll happen again this time too.

Whoo Hooo, I got fixed .  I don't have to worry about this EVER again!

We will likely be charting and using condoms. My cycle never returned to normal after over a year off the mini pill before conceiving. I don't want to mess with hormonal bc again.
