ladies who had their babies

What form of birth control did you use?? My doctor is putting me on the patch, I don't wanna risk missing one if I take pills and I don't want anything that lasts like 5 years. What did you ladies like or not like?

I used the nuva ring for about 2 months. it wouldn't stay in. heard a lot of ppl with same problem. hated the depo shot, made me bleed all the time and gained a lot of weight. tried a few diff pills and the only one i liked outta those was the low ortho. i have plans on trying paragaurd this time

It's an IUD but you don't have to keep it in for that long you can get it taken out whenever you want and it has no hormones so you don't get any side effects like you can get with the other birth controls..I got mine taken out a year later bc I wanted my son to have a sibling too, he turned 2 September 1st so I will be having this baby before he turns 3! Oh yeah and I got it taken out Oct.1st and got a positive prego test on Oct.31st so ttc was not a problem lol

The patch gets icky, have you ever tried the nuva ring? I loved the para gard bc it's hormone free and I only had it in for a year but I know you said you didn't want something that can last that long

Anyone else?? I'm really debating if I even wanna be on birth control, I've been hearing of so many recalls on some of them and the side effects kinda make me iffy.
