just had bub and looking for a good contraceptive

I had my beautiful baby girl, skye maddison on 26th April via csection. i am so happy but now i really need to look at contraceptives as i have 3 kids and don't plan on having anymore (atleast not any time soon lol). Looking for some advice on what's good as I've only ever used condoms which i hate cause i can't feel anything and i had the rod in my arm but had to have it removed cause i got really bad depression on it. not too keen on the pill cause knowing me id forget to take it. what would u guys suggest is good?

Oh! So they do still do diaphragms?! My husband and I were talking about it but I didn't.know if they still did them! Awesome! I can't ANY artificial hormones at all and am scared of the IUD. Wait, does the diaphragm have hormones??

ooh, I never even thought of a diaphragm!  I hate hormonal contraceptives and the paragard scares the poop out of me, it sounds terrible.

I was on the patch for a while, other then the slightly sticky outline it left after removal it worked for me. I couldn't take the pill because it caused me some issues. And the patch has the same hormones as Nuvaring. Nothing like the pill

I had the implanon after my son.  It takes seconds to insert, good for three years, and not painful to remove either.

Maybe you'd like the Nuvaring, you get your period and insert it for 3wks, remove and repeat the process! Very easy, and not noticeable during sex. It helped me until I was ready to get pregnant. After babies born I'm going back on it!

How about a diaphram? (not sure on that spelling) it's kinda like a female condom. It just covers your cervix. I was thinking about using 1 after my baby is born. I was on the pill for a while and I am too forgetful for that. I'm not really comfortable with using anything that has more hormones in it than the pill does.
