Which birth control is best???

Question

I'm looking to birth control after baby is born but not sure what type to go with since I've never been on just have used condoms. I was leaning more towards the patch but would like to hear what others have chosen.

Answer

I had the paragard jus and I absolutely loved it! Hardly any side effects and its good for 10 years!

Answer

No Depo shot! It's believed to have contributed to my osteoporosis; I was diagnosed at 28 after breaking my hip.

Answer

I used the patch for many years and if I was going to use BC again I would use that.

Answer

I LOVED having implanon...the one that goes in your arm...it was easy to implant/remove, lasted 3 years and I didn't have to worry about remembering to take it every day at the same time. I am hoping to get back on that after baby #1. Once baby #2 is here (in a few years lol) then I'm shutting down the factory permanently or I'm sure that'd be my choice again. I hated being on the pill...I had so many hormonal "surges" where I was so moody and hysterical. I don't like the iud's because the majority of my friends who use that form (even those who swear by it) have told me about problems: getting pregnant, it not staying in place, hurting, causing hormonal imbalances, heavy flow, they/their partner could feel it during sex, etc.  . No thank you.

Answer

If you do decide to go with pills, I've never had negative side effects from this brand: Ortho Tri-cyclen. Each week the amount of hormone varies so it imitates your natural body. Also, you could go with taking your basal body temp. Google that and learn a TON before you start using that method though. :)

Answer

I have tried pills, the patch and both IUD's. If I wasn't getting my tubes tied, I would go back to the patch. It's the only one I didn't gain a ton of weight or have many side effects!

Answer

I was on the shot for a long time because it was the cheapest for me at the time. It's easy and you only have to worry about it every three months. I like the pill too, but I'd stay away from the mini pi if you are bad about taking it at the same time every day. After polling my girl friends only about half that had an iud liked it, the other half had a terrible time with it. I don't know what I'll go on after I have my baby either!

Answer

I tried IUD, 3 types of pills, and Nuva Ring.  Nuva Ring is the only one I would use again.  Fewest side effects, easiest to use.
