Birth control

With all the articles coming out about Depo and the pill … what birth control are you using ? I have a 1 year old and i did not have the best postpartum (ppd, ppa, ppr) i absolutely know i do not want to have another baby maybe for the next 3-4 years.. im basically celibate because im so scared of getting pregnant. There’s times i miss my partner and i know he also feels the affects of not wanting to be intimate… i was on the pill but it made me feel so exhausted and it just wasn’t a good fit… what birth control are you using ? Are u not on anything ? And if so what symptoms have you felt ? I’d also like to add that I’ve started my “healing/ fitness” journey so I’m really prioritizing my health as well as my mental health. I’m kind of at a cross roads bc i don’t know if getting on birth control would just do the opposite… I’m not sure what to do

I am going on the mini pill (I get migraine so can't have combined one) because I would like next one within next 2yrs. I had the implant pre-baby and the only side effect I remember having was headaches for about a week or so when it first went in/renewed while I adjust to the new hormone levels. I definitely liked not having to worry about pregnancy for the ~3yrs each implant is effective for. I tried the injection once, and never again. For me it killed my libido completely and was like a 3mth PMS. Its definitely one that works for some people but not others.

I'm on pill but I'm having problems with so I'm going to doctors about it. I had Implant after had my oldest and I didn't have no side effects. It last for 3 years is well.

I'm same as the girl above I'm on nothing I just track my periods and my ovulating dates and just avoid having sex around the time of ovulation been working pretty well. Any time that risky I'd after a few drinks easier to give it
