The Paragard has no hormones, so it doesn't cause weight gain issues or anything like that. It CAN however can your menstruation to be slightly heavier.

I had the Paragard (non-hormonal IUD that lasts 10 years) but had an issue and had to get it removed. My husband got sterilized after that and we have no worries now. Are you looking to use something daily, are you going to breastfeed, do you want something you can do and forget about?

I am going to just use condoms after my baby is born. I have previously used pills and the depo shot.
The depo shot made me gain about 18lbs. It also gave me pregnancy symptoms and constantly messed with my head.
The pill made me irritable and messed with my cycle no end. I had unexplained bleeding, it isn't good for anybody with a history of depression which I didn't know when I got on it. Also I got pregnant on the pill.
I don't want anything that will take a long time to come out of my system and also plan to bf my baby. So condoms it is. My partner is happy with this as we would like another child within a year or so of having our daighter

I had Mirena IUD for 4 years before deciding to get pregnant. I never had any complications and most women don't get their period or only have a very light one while you have it in.

I'm not getting on any after this baby . It screwed up my system bad with every one I took . Just gonna use condoms . The pill works if you don't miss any . The depo makes you gain weight (most girls do) the marana (or how ever you spell it) and cause a lot of problems for most women and get stuck . I heard a lot of women hair the one they put in your arm . And if you take antibiotics and your on birth control , it will cancel the birth control out like you don't even have it or take it .

I wamt to try iud especially because it can last up to 5 years or 10 depending,on,which one you get. I wanna try a hormonal one and since its placed inside your vagina it will only release hormones,there and,not Throughout your whole body. Which I find better.

I had to go on birth control after my first due to having a preemie baby (27/6weeks) with complications. I tried the 2 hormonal ones that my ob dr prescribed. I had to quit because I became depressed and angry towards my baby. I quit them and all was fine. So we just used condoms most of the time when I thought I was the most fertile. This time my ob (a different ob) gonna give me something non hormonal. Not sure what yet
