So I want to get on depo again so I can prevent getting pregnant anytime soon I know not having sex would be the better option but I just can’t sometimes it helps with stress and I may have a slight problem (my sex drive is high) but is birth control safe while breastfeeding? do I really need birth control or should I just control myself better? I just really don’t want to be on my 3rd child I’ve been pregnant since 2024 I think I need a break and 2 under 2 isn’t easy either advice is very much appreciated

I’m not on birth control and I also had 2 under 2. I have no intention of going back on BC it made me miserable!
If you definitely want a 3rd one day then I’d suggest either using protection or yes going back on BC.
Obviously there’s always the option of the snip for your partner but that’s a big choice to make and depending on whether you want more.

My doctor says you can take bc while breastfeeding. They recommend the mini pill because it doesn’t mess with supply while the other estrogen ones can. I chose not to go on bc due to not liking the side effects I had of the progesterone only pills and did not want to chance the normal pill with estrogen affecting my supply. You can use other options for protection though without taking bc.
