Birth control journey postpartum

Hey y’all…anyone have any advice or recs for good birth control? Had horrible time on the pill every time I’ve tried & now 3 months pp I hopped on the mini pill (progesterone/slynd) & felt absolutely psycho, nauseas, depressed & headaches to the point where I will not be continuing (idc if it’s “supposed to get better”) just not worth my mental health having 2 kids. I have an appt for the copper iud but I’ve started reading horror stories ugh. Please help a girl out!

Would your husband consider getting a vasectomy?

No advice just here to say i have my spot for my IUD tomorrow and am freaking out as well! I’ll keep you updsted!

I’ve had an IUD for a while, even before I was pregnant. I’ve had the copper one (no hormones) and I’ve had Marina(hormonal), and out of the two, I love marina. I didn’t have a heavy period before I got an iud and when I got the copper, it made my periods super heavy and my cramps horrid. But the marina stopped my period almost all together. I spotted maybe every other month or so for maybe 2 days and then it was done. No cramping or anything either (just the first few hours after insertion). I got the marina one again at 6wks pp and I’m 3mo now and haven’t had any issues. Not sure how your LO is fed but if you’re pumping/nursing, it doesn’t affect your supply, neither does the copper one. You just have to remember that you know your body and everybody is different. Good luck!

I felt the iud in me, I had it before I was pregnant and it began to interrupt my sex life 💔 it was good until that point.

I’m currently now trying the peel, I’m hoping for a good experience
