BC Options

I've had the copper IUD since DS was a three months old (he's 2 1/2 now) and I'm really not enjoying it. Does anyone have suggestions on bc that they have liked or disliked and why? TIA

    I've had the Mirena for about 5 months and have had good luck with it.  Didn't care for the insertion, but after that haven't had any issues. I love not having to worry about taking a pill.

    I used to use NuvaRing and loved it.

    At some point, we will do something permanent (probably don't need it, but want to turn my brain off of thinking about pregnancy/fertility/etc). We are debating between Essure or vasectomy.

    I had Mirena put in after I had DS and just removed earlier this year so we can TTC.  I loved it.  I'm a giant baby and the insertion was NBD, same for removal.  The only annoying thing was I did have consistent spotting for maybe 2 months or so after having it put in BUT I didn't have a period after that.  Nothing.  It was great.

    Are you looking for permanent or temporary BC? I had the Essure procedure done last summer. I had mild cramping afterwards and some painful ovulations and periods the first 2-3 months, but now I have no complaints.

    I love the Mirena (no periods, got pregnant the next month after removal to ttc, insertion/removal not fun but not painful) and had good experiences with the nuva ring as well (I cycled it so I didn't have periods, but it was *way* more expensive though at $50/month and required getting a prescription filled every 3 months).
