Hey mamas! I’m going in for my 6 week Postpartum appointment from my first baby. My doctor wanted to discuss/make discussion on the birth control I will be taking. Any advice on which to use? There are so many to choose from! I am not breastfeeding and also am interested in having another baby around 3 years from now so I wanted something that was easy to stop taking and be able to get pregnant again decently fast when my hubby and I decided to have another. (aware that it would take months after getting off birth control) TIA

I know a lot of people may disagree but I personally really like the IUD. I had the Liletta before getting pregnant and ended up getting pregnant within a month of it coming out. The only side effects I had when it was in was painful cramping every once in a while.

Doesn’t always take a while to get pregnant after birth control, I’m sure some do, but I was on regular combination pills and I got pregnant immediately after stopping, like I literally ovulated two weeks after stopping it and have a wonderful 2 year old boy now!

I’d go for the implant in your arm it lasts 3 years and fertility returns strait away

Mirena would be good for you. I’ve tried soooo many different forms of BC and mirena was my favorite. I’m 3 weeks postpartum and in 3 weeks I’m getting the paraguard only because I am breastfeeding and I definitely dont want more kids and it last 10 years. You will be very happy with mirena
I had the IUD and it fell out. And I got pregnant in less than a month without trying.
I have the implanon in my arm and it has worked wonders for me. No more kids. Very light periods. Not sure how quick it works once out. I know mine is overdue to be replaced but they can’t get me in right away. So I gotta wait and they warned me that I could end up pregnant.
Skyla IuD always worked great for me. It’s lower dose of hormones than the Mirena and it’s good for 3 years. Lighter periods or none at all. I still had one every month but it was light. No side effects for me.
I had an implant in my arm. It lasts 3 years and after it was taken out I immediately got pregnant the next day. I had mine taken out early though,due to it wasn’t a birth control that worked for me. Made me super moody and mean.
Mirena worked well. It was a no thought thing that worked when I was overwhelmed with the baby and would have forgotten to take a pill.

Mirena IUD is a 5 yr, but can be removed anytime you would like with your doc. I preferred the IUD over the pill.
I use a copper iud. …Last 10 years but can be removed any time
I had my Mirena for 6 years and then it came out in it’s own (be careful) in April of 2018. I found out I was pregnant in June and had my son in February of this year.
My period never stopped. It was regular every single month for 6 years but it was a little lighter than usual.
3 yr Nexplanon I’ve had it 3 times works great don’t have to worry bout it for 3 yrs. It’s perfect for u. Plus it make ur period stop most of the time. Some girls are different tho. But I absolutely recommend it!
I’ve always taken Ortho Tricyclen Lo and I’ve never had any issues. If I wasn’t getting a tubal that’s the form of birth control I would be using after this baby.
Paragard! Has been great for me after my first baby
I have the Mirena iud and love it! It’s good for up to 5 years but can be taken out at any time and it’s easy to pregnant again once it’s out. If you are sensitive to any medications I would really recommend it! I’ve tried over a dozen pill birth controls and they all made me sick I’ve had this for almost a year and it’s been amazing
If you have a history of depression, just beware that you have a possibility of developing post natal depression and if that happens steer clear of the depo shot as it can make it worse
My sister n law used an IUD and when they decided it was time for another baby she just had it removed real easy and a month later she was pregnant
I started the pill what Will be doing paraguard(iud) lasts for a few years and i can just take it out whenever we plan on having more kids
