Default birth control??


KR wrote:
What type of birth control are all you breastfeeding moms using?

My daughter is 2 months old now, my doctor mentioned the options of the
mirena IUD or micronor (a mini pill). We aren't ready to make a
permanent decision right now and I really don't want another child at
this point. What is most effective? What is easier with less
problems??

We will probably know in about 2 years if we will have another child at
which point we will look at a surgical option for one of us.

Thanks,
KR


I'm taking micronor. I haven't had any problems with it thus far. I
take it when I'm giving DS his last feed of the day (always around the
same time) and I have only missed it once. As for periods, haven't had
one since DS was born! Yay! (well, unless you count all that yuckiness
that was around for the first six weeks post-partum).

I find that having a three month old child is pretty good birth control
for us, at least so far.
