Birth control

JmeJoLee83 · July 2014

What is your plan of birth control after this LO?

Poll fail! Hit done before all options

feel free to comment with your choice of method or any SS.

I just started the mini pill- Nora Be. Anyone has experience with this?

Nope! Any idea how to add other options? My trigger finger hit done too early! Fail.

Paragard on 7/17. Like @babywear, I'm crazy fertile and need it before any lovin'. We are done with two.

caitb413 · July 2014

I'm not sure that I want to be on hormonal bc yet, so DH will be wrapping it up for a little while.

texasmama2014 · July 2014

Iud. I got pregnant on the pill this time around.

Mia081081 · July 2014

Vasectomy soon! Hooray

steprozz · July 2014

nuvaring as of yesterday

Abenedict2011 · July 2014

Still undecided if I want to go back on the (mini) pill (didn't like coming off the hormones lady time) vs condoms. Curious what u all are doing. We don't know if we are done or not yet.

k2k2tog · July 2014

Will be talking to my doctor about an IUD soon. I'd prefer the no-hormone version, but I'll see what my doctor recommends. My mom and my grandmother have both had IUDs fail on them... I'm hoping they've become a little more reliable since then.

lest12 · July 2014

Rhythm/pull-out method. I think we're going to go for #2 sooner than later, so we are ok with risking it. I don't want to go on horomonal for the short-term.

Savvy122 · July 2014

When my midwife asked me what I was going for birth control at my PP appointment, I told her I was never having sex again. I don't think she believed me...

For reals, though, H is getting a vasectomy. We're done with two kiddos and after 10 years on the pill, 18 months of pregnancies, and 2 births, it's time for him to do something for our family planning.

Bozzy2 · July 2014

IUD. Can't really do anything else because of migraines and them failing.

roadspeckle · July 2014

I started the mini pill on Sunday.

katekat8721 · July 2014

No hormones for me. Charting to avoid with fertility friend again.

Hairstylist16 · July 2014

I've been on the pill for years but before I got pregnant I really wasn't liking it so I can't decide whether to try an IUD or just be officially done and have my H get a vasectomy. Although to avoid that he'd probably want another baby lol

flerlgirl · July 2014

I was on Nora Be. Now I have a second child.

Pepper6 · July 2014

More than likely will go back to the pill, but may consider an IUD.

After we have baby #2 in a few years, DH will get a vasectomy.

Condoms and then charting once I ever get my period back. I jokingly say I don't think I can get pregnant on my own, which probably means I'll end up with spontaneous triplets or something.

rainbowdashh · July 2014

No hormones for me. We will use condoms until we decide if we are absolutely ready to go a more permanent route.

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

Condoms until dh realizes that I am serious about not doing this again and agrees to get the vasectomy.

MrsP419 · July 2014

Condoms then vasectomy is the plan. I am a little sad about something so permanent but I really don't want more and am not digging any of the other options.

Cherylwang · July 2014

I'm thinking I will get a IUD this is my third and last baby.

Lynnja616 · July 2014

Withdrawal method for now. Unsure if this is our last LO, otherwise I'd be considering an IUD.

Dharmatron · July 2014

Condoms- I plan on trying for number two in the next 10 months.

I'm finally on the laptop and can see siggies and have to say your girls are freaking adorable!!! Gah, holy cuteness!

Breastfeeding. Jk nobody freak out at me, I know it's not reliable

nfp

ashanne88 · July 2014

Condoms for us too. No hormones for me. We'll try for number 2 in a year or two then probably take a more permanent route.

coffee89 · July 2014

NFP for us. We managed it fine before and I'm seeing no reason to not get back into it.

I'm a bit worried with the whole not knowing when my cycles will start again that we may end up pregnant again and DH is anti BC outside of needing it for health issues so I'm not sure how much we will be doing the deed in the next few months.

It was for me. Took 10 months to get my period back last time with weaning and solids. But I am not super fertile anyway.

This is us as well. I've never taken hormonal BC and never plan to.

kbellizio3 · July 2014

Was on the pill for 2 years and it made me feel like crap. DH and I successfully did a mix of NFP and using condoms for over a year before getting pregnant. Will probably go the same route again because we would like #2 in about 2 years (if it happens sooner that's ok too). So an IUD seems pointless. After #2 we'll look into a permanent form of BC.

katekat8721 · July 2014

@mrsdbc that's such a good analogy!

Paraguard or Mirena, I can't decide... I have horrible periods so Paraguard makes me nervous, but I would LOVE to stay away from all hormones. . . Even tho I liked my Mirena last time despite my cysts, mentally I felt so much better when we got it taken out

The emotional block I felt on Mirena was bad enough without the added in PP issues. It gives me goosebumps to imagine what a mess I would be right now had I gone that route.

I had mirena for 2 months and absolutely hated it. My moods were all over the place

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

We'll be in the condom and charting camp. I don't want to be on the pill. Hopefully we'll try for another in a year.

MNOpea · July 2014

@lizok22‌ with my first it took almost 12 months for me, but it's still not reliable because you don't actually know when your cycle will come back

Thank you, fellow twin mama! They look even bigger and cuter now :-)

LilyGracesMommy · July 2014

Thinking paragard as DH is petty set on being done ( I would consider a 4th, but not for at least 3 years) he refuses the big V and I won't do hormonal...

I've been looking at paragard; but does anyone have first hand knowledge of copper toxicity? It's the only thing making me rethink it...

FX my cycles don't come back till I wean fully ( with DS I was AF free till after his 2nd birthday)

jenlynne0624 · July 2014

Back to what DH calls the P2 (pronounced p squared)- aka the pull and pray method. It's what we did before we decided to start trying for a baby, which happened the first or second try...

Taymiller · July 2014

Back on the pill for me but this time I will actually take it correctly

. I was ready for baby but DH wasn't, I told him if he wanted me on the pill still that he would have to feed them to me, because according to him it isn't that hard to remember a pill at the same time everyday. Ha and then I ended up knocked up hehehe silly DH I guess it is that hard to remember!
