Prapagard IUD vs. mini-pill?

Question

Any of you ladies are on birth control after delivering your babies? What do you recommend? Not sure which to choose.

Answer

Natural Family planning is what I recommend.

Answer

I decided to go on the "mini-pill." We haven't decided whether or not we want to try for baby #3 and have given ourselves until baby turns 1 to decide. If we decide we are done, hubby will get a vasectomy. If not, we will start ttc again. IMO...IUD is only worth it if you are planning on waiting 3-5 years before ttc again. Otherwise, I would stick with the pill.

Answer

I am doing the mini pill. I prefer pills vs the IUD and am exclusively pumping. These methods normally do not mess with milk supply

Answer

I'm having the paraguard put in in a couple of weeks. I'm a little bummed tho. My nurse called me yesterday to let me know the order came in. She advised me that if I don't get it inserted while I'm on my period (which I haven't gotten yet, ebf) I have to completely abstain from sex for 2 weeks and then they do a pregnancy test. I know it just for safety, but it's an annoying inconvenience.

Answer

I used the mini pill after each previous baby and will definitely use it this time. I am not a big fan of IUDs.
