I would look into an IUD

Both of those options are hormonal. I would look into the copper IUD if you didn’t want the potential weight gain. I lost weight easily after all my 3 babies, back to pre pregnancy weight by a year Pp, but I track and we use condoms on my fertile days I wasn’t and I’m still not, on any BC. I’m also not willing to risk any weight gain when I worked so hard to lose 44lbs 3rd baby. Birth control is probably one of the reasons why many struggle to get back to old weight.

I’m 195 right now and I breast feed as well so my appetite is already as if I’m still pregnant
