Birth Control

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

I had the implanon... I think the nexplanon is what it is now? I would definitely recommend the arm implant(rod) but thats just me. :)

I've had the depo and boy does it make you gain weight. My sister was also on the depo in the navy and she was a skinny thing but when she came home she was plump from being on it. I've also had the arm implant and after this baby since its #3 I'm going with the arm implant myself I like it and it worked last time. The rod as in mirana? My sister has it and don't like It to much.

I had the depo as a collegiate athlete. I was running track and on a strict diet working out at least twice a day and gained 50 lbs. I had the implant in my after that and I was able to drop the weight and it didn't make me sick I plan on going back to it after baby is born.
