Default Poll: Birth Control

Me too - so far I love it, though the insertion of it was VERY painful for
me and i cramped for a day or two afterwards. Still I like not having to
think about bc.

What sort of birth control are you other nursing moms on?


I've got the Mirena IUD. I've had it for 4 years now and I'm really happy
with it. Nearly no period (used to have really heavy periods with lots of
pain), no pain. I love it.
I was scared at first because of the "no period" aspect (Yes, I took a
couple of pg tests because I was scared I might be). But I've gotten used
to it now and honestly, I haven't had a regular period in 6 years (I had
my period maybe twice or three times before getting the IUD because I was
bf'ing.)

I find myself forgetting pills, because I'm more worried about the baby
than myself at bedtime. I want something easy, don't we all. WHEN ARE
THEY GOING TO COME OUT WITH A PATCH FOR MEN?!?!?!


Yeah, I'd love for that to happen, too.

take care!
