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

I know I'm a little late to the show, but....

I used micronor when I was nursing, before my period came back, and I
was always ridiculously nervous about it because I'm terrible about
taking pills on time. This is not conducive to, how do you say, the
right mood...

I switched to Mirena after my period returned, and I had a
more-complicated experience with it than most... I had a solid six
weeks of spotting when it was first put in, though no periods to speak
of after that. And then after about a year, my strings disappeared...
it was still in place and still effective, but I eventually had to have
some sort of hysteroscopy to remove it again when we wanted another
baby.

And you know, even with all that, I *totally* plan to do it again?
Despite the annoyance of spotting, and the fact that I had to have a
hospital procedure to get the thing removed, the truth is that I just
never had to think about it again. The years of no periods didn't hurt
any, either. It was just so wonderfully convenient all around.

YMMV.
