CPT: have you thought about your long-term BC method?

hollandmama · December 2014

and I mean when you are done done forever...

I read this which made me think about permanent BC (https://blog.thebump.com/2014/12/15/which-form-of-birth-control-is-a-close-second-to-the-pill/)

sparkymcgeee · December 2014

I'm thinking of essure. Or whatever it's called. The non-tubal ligation, tubal lockdown thing

atlvol · December 2014

I haven't really thought about it. I will probably lean towards a V for DH. I don't mind taking my BC pills though, since it regulates my cycle and helps (a little bit) with cramps.

opheliainwaders · December 2014

I'm thinking a mirena.

ETA: Though I do like the idea of DH taking this on, frankly. If he was ok with neutering our dog, I think he oughta be on board for a V.

bumpuser794640 · December 2014

SS: we aren't worrying about it right now, since we've never gotten pregnant. If I manage to at some point we will discuss it then, but I'm leaning toward DH getting a vasectomy.

KikiCohen · December 2014

The trade off is DH gets a V and then a motorcycle.

hollandmama · December 2014

We haven't thought a about it but I'm afraid any of us getting neutered and then wanting a baby when we're 40... so probably I'll get a IUD

grapeskittles4lyfe · December 2014

He is SO going to get snipped.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

I'll probably just keep an IUD. I'm not worried about having anything too permanent done for either my SO or I.

sdtchica13 · December 2014

I am on the pill, but I have been trying for months to convince DH to get snipped. I have had two high risk pregnancies, a 10 week early baby, and two and c sections and we are firmly on team "Two and Through" but he refuses to pull the trigger because "what if something happens to you, blah blah blah". Personally I think he's just being a pussy, lol.

He keeps telling me that he'll do the big V when he's 40...I told him if we have an oops before then, he won't make it to 40...

[Deleted User] · December 2014

Since by the time we will be done with having kids I will be over 40 we are just doing to go with it. I told DH he will never have to be snipped since he has already had two surgeries in that area and has permanent nerve damage and stuff. He is off the hook. So we can totally have that 'accident child'.

DenverBride2005 · December 2014

DH got his V back in April, so we are done done. Ironically I'm thinking of going back on the pill now, though, because my skin has been breaking out and I'm tired of being nearly 34 and still having breakouts. PCOS is a bitch.

sparkymcgeee · December 2014

My DH is so young and he would only be done having kids when I said I am done. So if I die I want him to find someone and if that someone wants children then I want him to be able to have them. She just better treat my children right or I'll haunt her. Like aggressively and mercilessly until she either treats my kids right or leaves.

martyn17 · December 2014

I've been using Mirena and will probably get another one after #2. Maybe after 5 years with Mirena we will talk about DH get a V, but I don't know.

LauraB1016 · December 2014

We haven't really talked about. We are thinking about one to two more kids in our future. I have done really well on the hormonal bc so I think I may stick with that until we decide we are done.

[Deleted User] · December 2014

I don't know! I hadn't really thought about it. My bff and my sister both had terrible experiences with IUD, which is rare, but I still have some worries as a result. I like the no-snip tube idea.

cwhitloc · December 2014

We went the V route. It is much less invasive. I have heard some doctors not wanting to do a tubaligation during cesarean if there is a problem with scar tissue.

I got off the pill asap because I was concerned about the hormones. Too many people I know are ending up with the side effects of the pill (blood clots..etc).

KateJuly2013 · December 2014

We are only planning for two. Then I think a V. But I anticipate a long time between a second baby and actually having a V.

ilovemyducks21 · December 2014

Eventually DH will have a V. We aren't sure though if we're going to try for a third after this baby gets here though, so we'll use alternative measures until we decide one way or another. I actually need to talk to my doc about that. I've always been on the pill, but this baby was a result of missing about a week's worth of pills. So obviously I need another option that doesn't require me to remember something daily!

equinus · December 2014

DH had his V in September so we are done done, unless I change my mind in 3 years and make him get a reversal, but I don't think that's happening.

stephyfaith · December 2014

I'm thinking eventually DH will get snipped but we haven't really even thought about it as we aren't done yet. I'm not willing to do anything permanent until we are sure we are done.

queenbone · December 2014

SS: Unfortunately my Diminished Ovarian Reserve is working as perfect permanent bc.

I'd love to answer moar babies

queenbone · December 2014

dup

PrimRoseMama · December 2014

I'm loathe to go on the pill but IUD's freak me out. So, charting to avoid & conforms when we are done.

Pink724 · December 2014

I want DH to get a V like the second this child is born but he is convinced we should wait 5 years "just in case I change my mind." No dude, this is it. So an IUD until then, and a V once my waiting period is up.

kmvw · December 2014

I got a tubal at the same time of my last c section. We were 100% sure we are two kids and done. A little piece of me is kind of sad but that's what worked best for us.

hollandmama · December 2014

@queenbone >:D<

@ilovemyducks21 I love my nuvaring now... the first month I had some issues with it but I think it was more related to normal after-weaning issues rather than the actual ring, you worry about it once every 3-4 weeks

I was on the mini-pill for 13 months while BF and I really wonder how I didn't get preggers again as I was forgetting it almost 3 times per week
