Help us find a compromise

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

DH and I cannot agree on something:

I have had an IUD (paragard) since April and it has worked great. In fact, I would recommended it to anyone who wanted to wait a few years before having another baby. HOWEVER, my AF is such a raging (literaly) biiatch that I am ready to get it taken out. It lasts for almost 2 weeks from beginning to end, starting off light and getting worse each day. Cramps are terrible and, for us, it totally interferes with us being intimate with each other. DH refuses to have sex when I am on AF (I don't blame him--not the issue). So the issue is: he understands how I feel, BUT he is insisting that if I get it out, I go on BCP and the whole reason I got the paragard was because it is non hormonal...SO, is there a BCP that is non (or very little) hormonal? I have been on Ortho-tricyclin Lo before and I hated it. DH doesn't want to use condoms because of how different it feels...so what do we do? Before I got KU, we just used the withdrawl methode and it worked great until we decided to try. DH does not want to do this again, as the risk of getting KU before we're both ready again is just too high...Sorry this is a little long...thanks for suggestions!

    What about another IUD, like mirena? I have it and no longer get AF. As far as non hormonal BCP, I can't recommend any. You could also try depo or implanon.

    Mirena?? All the benefits of an IUD  but it is supposed to be pretty low hormone.

    YES! And get this...DH picked out the name BEFORE we were even engaged, nearly 2.5 years before we even had Logan! lol

    My DHs name is James, and as you can see my LO's name is Logan. Weird

     

    I also reccomend Mirena,  I got it at 7 weeks pp, and have yet to have af.

    Effing crazy people.
