I was told by the hospital that it is safe to take while BFing, but then I had heard some side effects that I have yet to research their validity. In addition, DH thinks he's a doctor and simply says "I don't want you on the shot. It's bad for you. I'll pull out." Um, good one.
Paraguard. I hated bcp's and I don't feel safe enough with just condoms. Dh refuses the V so iud it is. Insertion sucked!!! But that's not the norm...I am a bug fan so far! I font even know it's there and it's paid for.
I was on BCP- Yaz right after I had him (well 6 weeks after), but the hormones made me pissy---apparently I can't have estrogen based BC. So I got on the Depo shot. And I haven't stopped bleeding since... so know wonder its considered BC. I'm not getting another one. We barely have sex, and if/when we do we will use a condom. I really wouldn't care if I got pregnant anytime soon, although I would hope to wait until DS is out of diapers. But I miss pregnancy, so I wouldn't mind.
I am on the mini-pill but I am getting Paragard in a few days. I am BFing and wanted better protection. I will probably go on Mirena when I am done BFing.
Re: Non-clicky poll - What kind of birth control are you on/using?

But condoms are the back-up plan.
This. H is getting the snip after the first of the year when the FSA is funded again.

Absolutely LOVE your signature picture! So darn cute!
This. I was on the pill prior to conceiving DS and will never go back to any type of hormonal contraceptive again.
This. What side effects have you heard? I heard about irregular periods (which I've found to be true) and weight gain (not sure yet).
DS: 10/11/14
Condoms
I won't take the pill anymore. I am awful at taking it and ended up with my period for like 3 weeks straight. Never again!
I was on the Nuvaring, but hormonal birth control is just not for me.
We are back to condoms. Haven't used those since high school... ahh the memories
