Birth control? What kind are you using?

Birth control? What kind are you using?

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.
