Birth control

I was just thinking about birth control after pregnancy. Myself I am getting my tubes tied I am done I have a boy and a girl. I was wondering what everyone's plans were after? And I wanted to say that after my DS was born I tried the depo shot and it was not good it caused me to go into the baby blues 5 or 6 months post pregnancy.

    We use pullout and something like FAM. I don't take hormonal BC, and don't "trust" in IUDs. And don't like condoms.

    It works for us :)

    Charting and pull out.

    Hormonal bc messes me up.

    We haven't discussed it yet but we will probably use condoms, we want to try for baby number 2 when this one is a year old, no point in getting on birth control for 1 year then off again. I don't want my body to be confused. I want to give myself a break

    I am not allowed to take hormonal bc so it's either back to condoms or the non hormonal IUD. I think if we go back to condoms I can probably talk hubby into peanut number two quicker.

    We've been "pulling and praying" for 3 years before we decided to "try" for a baby. So we'll go back to that. But, we're also totally ok with any "surprises". When we're done having kids my husband has agreed to a vasectomy, but we'll cross that brid

    It took me a VERY long time to get pg, so I imagine we'll not do anything to prevent another baby. Not that we'll rush into a planned one, but we sure aren't going to do anything to prevent it either.

    Paraguard IUD. No more hormonal bc for me.  On a sidenote, I have never known anyone IRL who uses the withdrawal method.  I would think that would be even worse than condoms.

    The mini-pill I took while still BFing caused my supply to severly dip.  Then, the "regular" pill messed me up something serious, so I'll be looking into other options, but I'll cross that bridge later.

    This is our last one, so DH got a vasectomy last month.  If I was going to have a c section I would think about getting my tubes tied (but it's still not 100%, my firend had one and her OB said she should still used condoms) but the comparison in cos

    I will most likely get an IUD again. I had no issues.

    DH and I are very lucky to be able to get pg very easily, so some sort of bc is a must for us.

    I'll do mini pill then get mirena again.  I had it after DD and loved it.  I don't think we will have a third, bit am not prepared to get my types tied or for DH to get a vasectomy.

    Depo shot made me a crazy bipolar ***! And it made sex hurt sooo badly. Felt like ripping open a scab every time. Going to try something nonhormonal so I'm not so snippy with the hubs.

    Just plain 'ol condoms. i was on the pill for 10 years and I did not like how I felt going off of it and how long it took me to regulate and feel "normal". I told DH I would not be going on it again after the baby.
