Birth control

What are you ladies doing for birth control? I am leaning towards Mirena but I'm not 100% sure. Has anyone used this in the past who can tell me about their experience?

I had my doctor prescribe the mini pill, but am also interested in Mirena.  Thanks for asking this!

Wait...you WANT to have sex already? I'm too exhausted to even think about it yet!

We decided on the mini pill, but I am going to wait a little longer before I start it. An IUD is great if you want to wait a while to have another LO.... If you aren't going to wait long my doctor said it isn't cost effective.

Tired is my new normal since having #1 so I already feel back to normal, lol

This is why I think it would be a good choice. We're actually not sure if we EVER want any more kids, but I'm not willing for either of us to do anything permanent yet.

I was told the mini pill isn't any where near as effective as I want much higher failure rate than the normal pill. We are done so I'm doing esure which is forever.
