bcp vs. nuvaring

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Now that my boobs are drying up I would like to use a form of bc that I find more reliable than the mini-pill. 

for those of you who have tried both, which did you prefer and why?

    Reaching my hands up in there gives me the skeeves, so it is definitely the pill for me! I have been on Seasonique forever, and I love it because you only have a period every 3 months. Greatest thing EVER! :) I will go back to that as soon as I'm done BFing.

    I hate pills and my husband complained about Nuvaring he swore he could feel it. I am either going back to Depo or trying an IUD.

    I was not a fan of either of them, but my hubby said he could feel nuvaring too.  I would consider bcp's again, but would NOT consider nuvaring again.

    Loved Nuvaring minus the fact that DH said he could feel it.  I hated having to remember to take a pill at the same time every day.  Nuvaring can also be dosed in such a way that you can insert one back-to-back and only have a cycle every 6 weeks or so...

    My DH also could feel the nuvaring, but other than that I loved it. Inserting it and taking it out is really not that...invasive. When I'm done breastfeeding I will probably go back on it.

    Well I was on the pill for over 20 years with no problem.  It worked so well, I didn't think I could even have kids, which was not a problem.

    I switched to the NuvaRing and due to inadequate usage (it kept coming out during sex) I ended up pregnant.

    Going back on the pill.

    I was on the pill for 10 years, but always had breakthrough bleeding and it drove me nuts.  But, I def don't need more babies.

    Nuvaring= MASSIVE headaches, well for me at least.

    BCP- always did fine on them, but DH has to help me remember them. So not too hot on going back to them.

    I am going to ask about an IUD I think...
