Contraception afterwards?

What to do afterward.... I get PG at the drop of the hat, this is my 4th PG, (first one past 10 weeks though) and even though I know that I won't be letting DH near me with his thing for a while, I don't want to get PG again too soon.

I was thinking that you prob can't get IUD straight away, not keen on Depo and curious if the Pill crosses the breastmilk?

Any thoughts/ideas?

Yeah what freespirit said, I was going to mention depo, but you said your not keen, can I ask why? It's ok if you don't want to answer!

Fair enough!! I had a friend who had depo and had her period for 3 months straight

I've just had depo, was a little put off by the possible link with low bone density as I have very little calcium in my diet
My period hasn't started yet, been a week since having the injection and still no period!

Other than that we're using condoms, are they an option?

I had the depo after having my second child. I found it fantastic and i was about 95kgs when i got it. I new there was a chance of putting on weight so i got myself in the right midset and decided now was as good a time as any to lose weight. I lost 30kgs and it fell off in 3month's i couldnt believe how fast it came off. When i went back for the next shot the doctor was in shock when the weighed me

I think i will get it again after this baby if they let me because i tend to breast feed for over 1 year and i dont feel safe on the mini pill.

I took my friend to get a iud and she told me the pain was worse than having her 3 children. She kept getting infections and bleeding with it and after only 5 months had to have it taken out

i am the perfect exmaple of why not to use Depo..
10kg weight gain in less than 2 weeks and constant period the whole 3 months that even taking the pill aswell couldnt stop.
(apparently taking the pill stops the excessive bleeding)
however while taking the pill aswell as having the depo in my system (got tit 27th july so it had to be renewed by Oct 12th...) i still managed to get pregnant

I had an IUD put in when DD was 5months old and hadn't had my period back yet. The doctor just felt my tummy and said "doesn't feel like a pregnant tummy" lol.
I didn't find mine painful to get in at all. Although, once my period came back in October I did have 11 of them in 4months but the doctor promised it wasn't because of the IUD, and my cycle seems to have sorted itself out now since DD stopped BFing last month. It's great not having to remember to take a pill, and we weren't very good at using condoms after so long not using them

Possibly...as with any IUD, they need to dilate the cervix to put it in, and closer to birth things still aren't quite back to normal LOL In saying that, I had a c-section, and the girls were 3 months old when I got mine put in...I did dilate during labour prior to the c-section which is something that they asked me at my appointment (apparently it makes it easier?).

re the depo i was on it for years and no probs and no periods..loved it but they took me off cause i was overweight and more chance of clots:( I have tubes tied and hubby getting snip but that isnt an option for you:)

Ive never gained weight while using the Depo......and ive used it for years. It did however screw with my fertility making #3 take 15months to concieve...........I would like to blame my weight gain on depo i never lost any weight without major diet and exercise after coming off it..........Ive also been on the depo the last 3months and with exercising ive lost 5kgs and only have 5kgs to go to be pre preg weight.
So the weight gain doesnt always happen. I actually gained a couple of kgs from the pill. I heard people gain a heap of weight on the implanton thingee also

Im not having another depo shot as i dont want to have any trouble conceiving if i ever talk DH around to having another......which im doubtful yet hopeful
