Birth control?

Question

My doctor brought it up today that I should start thinking about my options. Since I’ll be breastfeeding she recommended the mini pill, the nexplanon, or an iud.
We aren’t totally sure if we are done having kids, but I am older and i think I’ll know in the next 2-3 years. Having 2 under 2, I’ll need a break 🤣
Anyone else thinking about options or have opinions?

Answer

Birth control never sat right with me. 
Then nexplanon was probably my favourite in terms of how I felt, but I kept bleeding to much on it (spotting every 5-7 days) and had to get it removed
The Depo shot I had for two years. I didn’t get one period, made my bones ache, no sex drive and husband recons it made me a grump bitch
I spent a good 8 years on the pill and I hated how it made me feel honestly. Also I was terrible at remembering it.
After birth I plan on just using condoms around ovulation time and the pull out method the rest 😅 worked for a good two years before we decided to have a baby.

Answer

I haven’t done birth control since I got my nexplanon removed a few months before I conceived my first. We just used condoms until it was time to try for the next baby. This is my last pregnancy so we are planning for my husband to get a vasectomy.

Answer

I'll most likely get another iud at my pp checkup

Answer

I did the mini pill after my first pregnancy while breastfeeding. The only downside is you have to be more precise with when you take it. I asked my doctor about the Nexplanon and she didn't recommend it for women who have had children because they're more likely to have bleeding. That happened to my friend so she had to have it removed.

Answer

I’m hoping to do a copper IUD. I was on hormonal bc from age 17-29 so I’d like to never take it again, but definitely don’t need a third baby anytime soon 😬

Answer

Following. Same situation! I've never been on BC, hubby and I just used pull out method which was working great for us...but after this pregnancy (baby #2, so I'll have 2 under 2) my body is in desperate need of a break and I can't afford to fall pregnant again so soon...so I was looking into BC, but for some reason I can't shake the uneasy feeling of taking it...particularly because I know sometimes it causes decreased sex drive, and I already have a low libido...🤷‍♀️ I don't know what to do.
