I got pregnant on the pill so no way am I using that again , I had a friend that had a lot of health issues on mirena so I don't really want that either, I think I'm going with the IUD arm implant because its effecrive once its inserted. And I was on the depo I gained a lot of weight and bleed almost the entire month, plus doctors recommend you only be on it for a year because it isn't great for your bones.

I hate taking pills. I'm definitely not gonna get no shots or the arm implant. I think those are bad for myself.I think our menstrual cycles are a way for our bodies to realise all that blood and stuff.it comes out for a reason I'm not good at explaining myself sorry.I guess were gonna use condoms but thats it.

I had the arm implant and I'd personally say it was the best choice no side effects or anything. Had it for a 1 year having unprotected sex with my bf and we finally decided to have a baby so I got it removed and I got pregnant but I honestly going to get it back after I have my baby.

I'll be getting the arm implant. I got pregnant while on the pills, so not taking those again. I've had the patches in the past, and I loved them but my insurance stopped covering them.

I was on depo for over 2 yrs and gained no weight. Everyone takes to things differently...I'm going back on depo after this one comes.

I don't trust any of the birth controls besides the pill they all seem to have bad side effects and I always hear bad experiences with them. But I don't trust the pill to prevent pregnancy so I have no idea what to do either! :(

I'll be getting my tubes tied since this is my third baby. But the last time I was on birth control I used the pill.

I don't trust the IUD, I've hear too many horror stories. I also don't like the shot because of the weight gain. So I'm sticking with the mini pill, since I will be breastfeeding

I'm doing mirena... I was on the pill but forgot to take it... And that's how my son came into the picture (: haha. I heard the depo shot makes you gain ALOT of weight and I'm not really sure what else to get either!
