Anyone opting to get an IUD inserted immediately after giving birth? If not and you don’t want more kids, how are you planning to prevent that from happening? Birth control? Tubes tied?

0/10 recommend. I had the mirena due to me having PCOS and long periods, it was painful to get put in and did its job but after awhile I started getting severe pain from it and went to a OB to get it checked out she didn’t even look and told me it was fine and argued with me and I yelled saying no something is wrong she kept saying she wasn’t going to take it out because it still had a few years to go turns out the string was wrapped around my cervix. That’s my personal experience it does hurt a bit to get put in you’ll have cramping I got one period on it and none after I had someone tell me that could feel it during sexual activity with fingers but other than that never got pregnant or anything on it :)

Also took me over a year and one miscarriage to conceive after having it

Mirena heck no!! Got fat and pregnant on that one. The nexplanon worked great for me. No period or pregnancy for 3 years got pregnant a few months after having it removed when I was ready.

I will probably get back on the pill afterwards. It worked well for me for the last 7 years before I tried getting pregnant.

If you’re planning on breastfeeding, the pill is supposed to suppress milk production fyi!

I had a perfectly fine experience on Mirena and was able to get pregnant about 5 months after taking it out. It really had no side effects for me other than it hurting like a bitch to get it put in and the taken out lol
But you also can’t get it out in immediately after birth. Your cervix needs 6 weeks or so to completely heal.

I'm having a C-section and getting my tubes tied at the same time 🙌🏻

ok. I will ask my gynecologist about it at my next appointment. Thank you for the information.

I'm planning on getting the copper IUD, but my OB is waiting until the 6 week check up. She said they only install it directly after birth if they're afraid the mother won't come back for the 6 week check, as there's a higher chance of your body reflecting the IUD if you get it put it right after birth

Birth control, the pill.
