I was on the mini-pill, but it has been causing constant on-and-off bleeding. Like, 6 days of period, 5 days off, five days of period, 4 days off. I plan to go back on the regular pill when I stop breastfeeding, in 4-5 months. I have always liked the regular pill, it really improves my PMS symptoms, and I liked the mini-pill fine the first time I took it, between pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626475 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 11:16:20 +0000 Canoli 2626475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I know.

It's no big deal!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626463 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 10:51:09 +0000 erinbaderin 2626463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband had a vasectomy when #2 was 4 months. </p> <p>@Canoli: For what it's worth, it was an in-office procedure, it took 15 minutes, they gave him a mild sedative for anxiety (and even that was optional) and sent him home with an ice pack and some Advil. It was a total nothing procedure, forget the 2 c sections this was less invasive even than my egg retrieval/transfer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626460 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 10:45:31 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2626460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the moment, pregnancy but I'm unsure about after. Very loose natural family planning did work for us while avoiding then trying but my husband definitely doesn't want more kids so I'm inclined to encourage him to do somethin more responsible next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626449 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 10:35:49 +0000 Purpledaisy 2626449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EBF, p&amp;p, and lack of frequency :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626442 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 10:22:03 +0000 Mrs D 2626442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IUD.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626361 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:20:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2626361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently pregnant, but I was loosely tracking except it wasn't very regular and I was lazy and therefore the surprise pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626342 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:48:57 +0000 arosebyany 2626342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha this one cracks me up! Right now we use the pull out method. lol I honestly feel safe with it we used it for 11 years successfully and then got pregnant our second month of ttc. I've never been on birth control in my life, but once I finish losing this baby weight I plan to give the mirena a go. I'm trying to give my husband time to adjust to the idea that were one and dOne, because for him, me going on birth control means its final. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626319 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:33:13 +0000 kiddosc 2626319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Skyla and love not ever having to think about it. DH will be getting snipped, but now he's on a three year clock to get that done... tick, tick, tick </p> <p>@pastemoo: That happened to me when I got my Mirena after #1 and my Skyla after #2. After three months of random bleeding with my Mirena I was ready to go back in and have it taken out, but then it magically stopped and was the best thing ever. I hope it gets better for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626318 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:32:59 +0000 Pollywog 2626318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breastfeeding and the mini pill.

We decided on that because I had carried the babies and had two c-sections, so it was his time to have some fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626299 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:01:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2626299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Natural family planning.

Blech. I hate them but I refuse to go back on the pill or get an iud. Husband is no good about pulling out so condoms it is. Once we decide for sure about having another or not, he will get snipped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626058 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 21:03:38 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2626058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2yo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2626053 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:58:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2626053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mirena!<br /> Not making the same mistake twice. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2625962 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:16:10 +0000 Alba4 2625962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting a Mirena in November... and the plan is for my DH to get a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2625961 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:15:36 +0000 Finfan 2625961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The pill until DH gets a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2625940 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:08:22 +0000 SweetCaroline 2625940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mirena. I'm pretty happy with it. No periods is amazing. I wonder if the hormones affect my mood. Lack of exercise and stress could be affecting my mood though, too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2625937 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:07:03 +0000 pastemoo 2625937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: IUD. And still bleeding, and curious if it actually caused a period, or just had some heavier bleeding for a few days. It's been a little every day and it's been 5 weeks now, so basically I've been bleeding daily since I had the baby 3 1/2 months ago. But they say it gets better. I don't have cramps, it doesn't hurt. I don't have to remember any pills. I'm not having mood swings or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2625934 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:06:42 +0000 autumnleaves 2625934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want DH to get a vasectomy but instead I have an IUD.

But it would be terrible if we ended up pregnant so I feel "safe" with what we are doing. My husband is super against a vasectomy but I would like him to get one eventually.

Options seem so limited, as I dislike the artificial hormones in pills (migraines). Also, not fair that there are so many other IUD options not available here in the US. Get on it FDA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2625899 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:48:43 +0000 winniebee 2625899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Canoli: not to mention probably the many years you were already on BC! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2625892 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:37:26 +0000 youboots 2625892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love being on Depo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-current-method-of-birth-control#post-2625888 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 19:33:50 +0000 catgirl 2625888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mirena.

He knew one person ONE person who had some complications and is freaked out. I said really I've had an emergency c section, vbac, and then another c section so I really have no sympathy. Get over it husband! He says he will do his research so I may be able to win him over! </p>
