Recommend your birth control

in Parenting after a Loss
Well we are almost 2 weeks post delivery and already my OB is putting the pressure on for birth control. She presented me with Mirena IUD or Nexplanon implant. Before 3 years of TTC I was on oral meds so this is all very new to me. I'm going to insist on waiting until at least 6 weeks pp because it is advised by the FDA. Are any of you ladies using or have used either of these contraceptives? What is/was your experience? I know everyone is different I just want to see how others are doing on either of these. TIA!

    I have the Implanon implant...I am not in love with it, but don't hate it either. There was definitely some discomfort in the beginning, but now I don't notice it all. It feels like a spaghetti noodle if I touch it. I had the Mirena, and loved it...until

    I was on the mini-pill, and I just didn't like the way it made me feel. But I was totally over my oral birth control before we were TTCing, so, it really wasn't a surprise. I've heard good things about the Mirena. If we weren't planning to try again after

    I'm on paraguard, it's like mirena but it's copper and somehow doesn't have to use any hormones.  Been on it for a few months now and have zero complaints.
