What birth control worked best for you?

I’m 11 days postpartum. Ever since I was a teen I knew I only wanted one or no kids, because I’m not very fond of them, and because I grew up raising my siblings.

Which is better to get that doesn’t impact on health- Contraceptive pills or IUD? I have PCOS and am trying to get my cycles regularly as I struggle to get a period on my own and usually need help with Provera to help induce it.

Please answer if you have PCOS- I have PCOS and have struggled with getting my periods at all. For the longest time, I have not had periods and have had to use Provera to help induce one. If u have PCOS - have you experienced no periods?

If so- for how long have you not had a period? - without intervention (meds to help)
