Once you reach your ideal family size, what will you use for birth control?

    We are still discussing this. I want DH to get a vasectomy but the thought terrifies him, so I'm debating between going back on pills forever (blegh) or getting an IUD.

    I think it really depends on what my cycles are like once they're back after baby. If they are dependable enough that charting/NFP will work, then I'm all for it. If they're as ridiculous as they were before getting pregnant, we'll have to discuss other methods.

    I'll probably go back on birth control pills since they really helped with my PCOS symptoms as well, but we'll likely eventually discuss him getting a vasectomy as well.

    NFP/charting. I don't like the idea of permanent birth control and had terrible reactions to hormonal birth control.

    Condoms, although I'd be open to investigating an IUD. I don't know much about it. Once we were absolutely sure, we'd look at vasectomy.

    I have a paragard iud now after our first kid and plan to get it again after our 2nd if we have a 2nd. It's good for 10 years so assuming I'm 35 when we have our 2nd (we want to wait a couple years to try), I'll be 45 when it comes out.

    I am going to talk to my doctor about an IUD till we are ready to try for #2. Then DH will get a vasectomy.
