Birth control safe for breastfeeding
I'm 8 months now and I have no idea what b/c to take afterwards. I plan on breastfeeding ,so this puts a damp on some options. My doctor said my choices are Depo, IUD, Implant or mini pill.
Mini pill-high failure rates
Implant- made me very sick and came with weird after side effects once removed .
IUD- I'M TERRIFIED (too many horror stories)
Depo- Can't cause of sickle cell trait (it has more effects than you think)
So anyone out there use a different birth control while breastfeeding.
