We'll start using condoms after LO is born. I'm not interested in hormonal birth control, so we'll probably do condoms until my cycle regulates and then NFP.

I got my Mirena IUD put in when I was 10 weeks postpartum. I wanted to make sure we didn't have any surprises before we were ready.

As soon as I could! Which for me meant as soon as I was done breastfeeding. I wasn't willing to take anything while nursing.
Once DS had made it clear that we were done, I let one month go by and then filled my prescription.
I was very happy to have my clear skin, no more bloat, & lighter/shorter period back. I was on it for 11 years before stopping for 1 month to TTC and got pregnant right away. I always feel better health-wise on the pill and was very happy/grateful things worked out like they did.

I started taking the mini pill at 6 weeks but it messed up my milk supply so I stopped. We are currently pulling and praying.

I've never been on any birth control because they all have such strong effects, we have always just used condoms

I absolutely do not want any surprise pregnancies after baby 2 is born so I will use the mini pill and use condoms.

I just got back on Mirena at 7 months pp. I planned to get one at my 6 week pp visit, but my husband then said he would get a vasectomy so we planned for that. He has sort of chilled on that plan for the slim chance we will want another; however neither of us want another within the next few years so Mirena is perfect. We used condoms + me refusing to do anything at any point in my cycle where I had any change of getting pregnant haha. No surprise babies welcome!

I was on depo (I went on 6 weeks postpartum), I got my period right away. But I just went off depo in December, we are hoping to try for LO 2 in the next few months.

We use condoms and are looking to learn NFP. I'll never go back on hormonal bc again.

I have my 6 week check tomorrow. I am leaning towards the mini pill or Mirena.
ETA: I am hoping DH will take the pludge and get a vasectomy since we are done.

I got a Mirena at 14 weeks pp. DH will eventually get a vasectomy but we aren't sure whether or not we want a second baby yet and don't want to make any permanent decisions.
