What are you planning on using? I am thinking of trying the Nuvaring. I don't want the responsibility of remembering to take the pill everyday and I know
too many people who had bad side effects with IUDs.

well my dh had the big V done so we're good there. Although I should tell you I work for a prescription claims processor, and you wouldn't believe how
many claims I see for people whose Nuvaring fell out and their insurance wouldn't pay for a new one. I had a mirena IUD for three years and it was great
though!

uh oh about the nuva ring! I hear such mixed reviews about Mirena - people either love or hate it. My ob actually said he recommends the Paraguard over Mirena
but I can't remember why. But I heard on yhr Paraguard periods are heavier and last longer.

I think the Paraguard has less or no hormones so maybe less side effects? I have no idea what I'm going to do. My only real options are condoms, diaphragm,
mini pill, or IUD, since I'm breastfeeding ... which I suppose is just as well because estrogen birth control makes me sick. Unfortunately, I was on the
mini pill before and it made me super depressed (common side effect, and I already have seasonal depression), and I'm scared of the IUD - I know multiple
people who have gotten pregnant with it in and all have had miscarriages. I don't like the failure rate of the diaphragm, and condoms are eh and DH
doesn't trust them. So, I don't know ... probably either the mini-pill with an anti-depressant, or the IUD with withdrawl.

Nothing! I can't take birth control because of the risk of blood clots, and we needed IVF to get pregnant with Mckenzie. I think we'll just go commando
and if it happens, the chance is slim to none, then I guess it was meant to be!
