Has anyone received the depo shot BC? How did it make you feel etc? What about an IUD? I’m terrified getting one after my c-section.

Mirena (hormone) coil. It lasts 8 years once inserted and is as effective as getting tubes tied. It worked for me for 7 years until I decided to have another child. I got pregnant 5 months after having it taken out.
Worked lovely for me.

Really quick - I went to a clinic after birth and the woman inserted the coil in about 3 mins. I was told to take paracetamol and ibuprofen an hour or two before hand because some women report stinging and pain, but I didn’t notice it at all.
It was 4 months after my emergency c-section.
From what I remember u had very few, if any, difficulties afterwards. Unlike with the pill that left me emotionally unstable and always on the verge of forgetting to take it everyday.

Depo shot - I bled for 7 months straight
Mirena IUD - made me feel psychotic. I had no control over my emotions and lost massive amounts of hair.
Low dose birth control pills (lo estrin) - no symptoms, no complications, I recommend it through and through.
Me and my partner have a 2.5 year old daughter and I am 23 weeks pregnant. We have only been together 3.5 years so wasn’t together long before I got pregnant. When we met neither of us went on nights out, my partner would go out maybe every 2 months to catch up with friends. When I got pregnant my hormones and anxiety was all over the place, I was scared and wasn’t sure about the relationship so I pushed him away and he went out loads. We went through a make or break situation and he ended up moving in and things got so much better. I think I needed some reassurance and commitment. So now I am pregnant again and I have had the opposite experience I am tired and sore due to previous health problems and need his help more and just want him around in his free time. He has been going out more whilst I’ve been pregnant but not just the normal nights out he has been going further and staying in a hotel so I am left solo parenting. I am mainly a sahm I work 10 hours a week in the evening so I do contribute but he says this is what I chose so I can’t moan about being with my daughter all the time and everything being on me.
I am feeling very vulnerable and like he is pushing me away this time, he not the cheating type so I don’t worry about that, he would never want to do anything to jeopardise his relationship with me so he isn’t with us full time but I can’t help feeling annoyed/worried about the increase in nights out drinking till all hours and staying away from home. I don’t want our children growing up around excessive alcohol like we both did, we both agreed we wanted to focus on them and make our free time their childhood but he is not doing that most of the time. Am I overreacting?

i’m deciding on what birth control i want to take. however, i do want to gain weight. i’m 5’5 and only 115lbs. clothes don’t fit me right and i hate how small i am. I know many women aren’t as small as me so they don’t typically enjoy gaining the weight from birth control but this is definitely a factor for me as I don’t want to get on a birth control that makes me lose weight
