I'm on the pill for now, but I am interested in something more permanent in another 10 years or so. I still feel firmly one and done, but I'm still in my 20s so I don't feel comfortable taking any permanent measures yet.
What do you use if you aren't planning on more children?

Mini pill at the moment (nursing our last kid). After that, probably pill for me. DH is considering a vasectomy, but we haven't discussed it at length yet.

I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant with our last, but with my first meeting with the OB/GYN I already told her I want my tubes tied.

I'm on the mini pill right now, but thinking about getting an IUD (Mirena probably).

We aren't done but I just got an IUD (Skyla) for protection between kids. An IUD would give you a low maintenance, longer-term option if you aren't ready for permanent measures yet. DH will be getting a vasectomy when we're done having kids though.

I have a Mirena IUD. DH will likely get snipped, but since each IUD lasts 5+ years, we're in no rush.

I plan on getting my tubes tied after my next child. I'll be in my late 30s.

@Mrs.KMM: I had a bad reaction to an IUD, but I wish it would have worked for me!

Considering an IUD, but DH is going to get a vasectomy before the end of the year, so something that long term probably isn't worth it. We had planned to wait for him to get snipped, but now that we know I probably have a genetic condition that makes another pregnancy a bad idea, we're 100% one and done instead of just 90%, so a permanent solution is good. We'll probably just go back to the pull out method (which we used for 8 years with no issues before TTC) until his procedure.

I have a Mirena and my Dh is getting a vasectomy in the coming months because he HATES the strings (maybe tmi 
)
I had a terrible reaction to my first IUD, Paragard, about 5 years ago. I've had this since February and have been A'okay.

We're not done yet, but I will insist on my husband having a vasectomy once we are. I don't want to be taking hormonal bc until menopause, and it'll be a simple enough procedure for him to endure!

I'm pregnant with our last now, but once she's born D is getting snipped and I'm getting another IUD.

I had a c/s so they went ahead and tied my tubes - if I didn't have a c/s DH would have gotten a vasectomy

We are struggling with this too. We don't want more kids, we're too young for permanent measures, I'm nursing so the pill and charting are both out, we tried a diaphragm and didn't like it, IUDs aren't covered by our insurance and are $$$$, and condoms are a drag. I wish there was a magically awesome option!
