We are planning to use condoms. We aren't exactly looking forward to wrapping it up and I will switch to Mirena if we decide we are OAD in the near future.
H is getting the big V. Until then we're using condoms. They're terrible.
This is our first but I'd really be okay with him getting one. We are 25 though so I'm not sure if anyone would even do it...
Condoms are terrible..
H is turning 28 and we're hopeful we can find a place in network to do it. They're technically reversible but I don't think it's that common. If we decide to have more kids, we will look into it more. If we can't reverse it we will adopt.
H is very seriously freaked out by IUDs and I don't want to go on hormonal birth control again. I figure if he is willing to go through the surgery I will let him.

Using the mini-pill now. I have a tentative follow up scheduled in 3 weeks. If my bleeding has stopped, I don't have to go in unless I change my mind and want the IUD.

motownthrowdown, abvintage, how's the implant? I'm thinking about that one but can't get over the weirdness of having something in my arm. Does it hurt when the skin above it is touched??

I'm not going to lie-getting it put in hurt a little. My epidural was worse though. I was bruised for about 2 weeks, but I bruise easily. It doesn't hurt once the bruise heals. I can feel it if I push, but it doesn't hurt and you can't see it.

I had a dip but I'm not sure if that was due to lack of pumping, it being around my normal time of the month, or anything else. My supply has since gone back up.

Anyone have experience with paraguard? The midwife ordered it for me for insertion at the next appointment. She warned me that it can make your period much heavier and last longer. Do not want that. Did any of you experience that?
I'm using the mini pill, probably going to try to nurse to 6 months and then ween and go back to my old BC. I have an alarm set on my phone to remind me to take it.
But srsly screw anyone that says no period while breastfeeding, b/c today (not even a week into my pills) I have bleeding. I'm going to keep track of it, but it's srsly annoying. I was hoping to get away with 6 months of no period.

I had Paragaurd and it definitely made my period last longer. It was really heavy at first, but that was only about my first 2 or 3 periods after I had it inserted. But my period would last 7 to 10 days each time the whole 4 years I had it in. Had it taken out when we decided to ttc and got pregnant the first cycle. Switching to Mirena this time.
Nexplanon (the arm insert) but let's be honest I'm not having any sex.
When A went to the hospital for her shunt revision, they did a scan on her and they asked if I could be pregnant since I wanted to stay in the room with her. I wanted to laugh and say that you have to have sex to be pregnant.
SAME. Every time Eliza has an MRI they ask me this and I just cackle.
I went with the Mirena. Not going to lie, I was terrified of getting it placed. It wasn't much more uncomfortable than a pap. I can't remember to take a prenatal every day so I wasn't going to risk it with a pill.
