depo shot? Mirena? breastfeeding?

Well... I've been thinking maybe Mirena isn't for me.. I found a Facebook page of all this complains of this form,of birth control where they have t have it surgically removed.. so maybe not a good idea for me? ? I've heard sometimes the body rejects it And that in can move.. idk if the size of the penis matters but if it does.. then he might move it.. ?? I want to try the depo shot. Anyone,tried any of these two? Can I still breastfeed with the depo shot? Do u bleed ALOT? How bad does it affect hormones? ?

I hear ya, i just turned 19 in May and this baby was pretty well planned, but we agreed a while ago no more babies for hopefully 5 years! We're to young to have babies back to back to back haha.

I been on both. After my first baby i got on The depo shot I was on for almost 2 yrs I never had any periods but i still got pregnant while on the shot. It caused me to have complications with my pregnancy. After that pregnancy I got on Mirena (had it for almost a yr) and it moved and came out (so painful). After that I got on the pill and i think it's the best and I was on one that's was safe for breastfeeding even tho i wasnt breastfeeding any longer and I loved it no weight gain, periods on time and not heavy, and no major cramps.

Mirena is bad news. Can have allot of horrible sideffects. Depo wasn't to bad. People say they gained weight I personally didn't but weight gain is common with any birth control. I think I'm going to just attempt the spermacide route until we are sure that we are totally done. Maybe a year or so.
