What are you doing for PP contraceptive?

I have my 6 week checkup next week and I'm not sure what to use. I'm breastfeeding, is my only choice the mini pill?

  • I got the depo shot yesterday because I don't trust myself with the mini pill and an IUD wasn't offered.

  • My hubby is getting a vasectomy, BUT....it may be months (or a year) before he goes in, so I decided to get an IUD.  I'm going with the Mirena because it worked well for me last time.  I'm horrible with remember to take pills and my hubby isn't a fan of condoms.  Mirena doesn't effect BM supply.

    You could consider depo or an iud. I am considering either of those but refuse any form of the pill... I always was sicker on the pill than I was anytime in pregnancy. I never felt right. With that said, I don't think I'm going to go on anything for some time. Probably will wait a few months and think on it.

  • The regular BCP.  But I'm not nursing.  And I LOVE the pill.  I haven't been on it since November 2008 and I miss it so much.

  • Getting Paraguard IUD and doing basic charting to use condoms when I might be fertile (yes overkill, but we're pretty serious about TTA). I'm EBFing
  • The BCP or Mirena. I would love to just chart, though.
  • spermicidal condoms. dh will be getting a vasectomy within the next year.

  • Probably the mini pill if still BFing at 6wk pp check. I can't justify myself getting an IUD especially if we try again in 2ish years. If it was my last, maybe IUD or regular BCP because I always did fine with the pill.

    Condoms and charting until I wean. Then probably the regular pill to control my endometriosis until we get pregnant again. 

    However, I'm not signing up to do this again for a very long time...maybe 4 years.
