Birth control

I had the rod once. It stopped my period which realistically meant it was working, but when it got removed my period never came back, at least not regularly (one about every 9-12 months) we ended up needing assistance falling pregnant. This isn't a usual experience but it was mine so I'd never go back

Iv just had my third copper coil fitted! Have to say after my baby this was the best experience Iv had. The other times have been pretty bad, but it’s all over very quickly! No hormones which is good and you literally don’t need to think about it for 5 years xx

Depo has always been great for me

Merina was best for me no issues I actually lost weight on it, never moved, I still had a slight period lasted 2 days every month very very light for 2 years getting back in 6 weeks after baby born.

As a mother of 2 with 2 horrible pregnancies, giving up my career and basically my whole life and friends to raise our kids i believe i done my bit. My husband can wear a condom or get his bit sorted. The extra weight am carrying right now and my stretch marks are enough damage. We dont want more kids so why do *I* have to use shit? We use condoms now and am happy with that but if he wants to stop using them he can get a vasectomy.

LOVED my nuvaring. No remembering daily to take something and it made my skin so clear!

I had the implanon and it was terrible for me. I gained more and more weight every single day and at some point the doctor took it out.
I also had the Mirena which was okay but still problems with my weight until they took it out but definitely not as bad as with the Implanon.

But I heard good things about the copper IUD because it’s without hormones 😊

Currently on my third week of using the patch. On the fourth week I’m not suppose to wear one and that is when my cycle suppose to come on so I’m waiting to see how the first few months go

I had copper IUD - I tried mirena and kyleena as well. Personally when I tried the hormonal ones I think my system for all messed up. Copper I liked the peace of mind that it was hormonal. But I’ve read more that there seems to be many issues with IUDs in general. After I give birth I’m planning to do aggressive natural planning and if we get pregnant once more we are okay with it. I’m asking hubby for a vasectomy after we have all our kids

I had the implant/implanon for 9 years in total and I had zero side effects, regular periods and as soon as I came off it I got pregnant as planned. Everybody is different though clearly feel very lucky xx

For years my husband and I just tracked my cycle. Obviously not 100% fool proof, but as a lot of us know - it’s not super easy to get pregnant in the first place! Only a few days a month it’s even possible, and we just pulled out those other times. Might not work for everyone - but it worked for 5 years for us, and I got pregnant on our first try when we were trying! Nice to not have the hormonal side effects of other birth control too (no shade on other methods!)

Implant honestly resulted me in depression, and the pill I’ve fell pregnant twice on so I don’t know what to go for the next time 😂

Depo made me gain at least 100 pounds, wouldn’t recommend unless that’s not an issue. I’ve heard great things about the nuvaring

I used the implanon for 3 years and had a great experience - only side effects were a super itchy arm where the implant was. Also didn't have a period for those 3 years. My Sister on the other hand had a terrible experience with hers, site got infected, experienced continuous periods for months etc. Unfortunately it depends on the person what works for them

I’ve had the Paragard (copper) IUD for a year and have had no issues with it! Just more cramping and my first 1-2 days of each period are pretty heavy.

I had IUD (Kyleena) before getting pregnant and loved it. I did the pill for 5 years before then and my emotions were outrageous. Im getting the IUD again at my 6 week pp appointment
