Birth control? What kind are you using?

by laznacko, Sep 03, 2008 04:13AM
My dd is 2,5 month old. After delivery we had sex just two times and we used condoms.
I wanted to know what kind of birth control are you using? I don`t want to take pills (I don`t want to take hormones) and I`m not sure about IUD (they have side effects to).
I was wandering does anybody is using just condoms and nothing else?! Maybe I should practise also the pull out method during the ovulation period (together with condoms). But now is hard to know the ovulation  period. I haven`t my period yet.

I am on the mini pill. I haven't noticed any bad side effects. I've been on it for 3 months now. When your breastfeeding your options are limited. My doctor said I could use mirena, but I didn't want to. I am so paranoid about getting pregnant too soon, so I am on the pill, use condoms and along with the breastfeeding I am covered. Apparently, the mini pill is less effective than regular bc pills. But, if you breastfeeding along with the pill, it's suppose to wrok great, I am just paranoid!

I have the Mirena and loving it. It last 5 years and you don't have to worry about remembering to take the pill or stop to put a condom on. It's safe to take while breastfeeding too.
