Birth Control

How soon after you gave birth did you get on BC? Do you recommend the depo shot or the rod? Why?

i did the rod and i had no problems but didn't keep it long because i got married then me and my husband wanted another baby so i got it taken out but when i went on youtube to see how they would take it out the doctor could put it in wrong and people was saying they was depressed and loe sex drive but i didn't have it long

The arm implant has all the side effects of being pregnant and I defiantly don't want to feel pregnant for however long I have a bc in!

I have had implanon and nexplanon. Both before I got pregnant (obv) I had the implanon for the full 3 year then I replaced it with nexplanon which I had for a year then I got it removed to try for baby. I fell pregnant instantly. I had no trouble with either methods. I totally recommend them!
