What birth control is everyone using and how has it affected you? I'd prefer the natural approach of…

@rachael630, I used the implanon I think they call it the Nexplanon now. it's good for 3yrs and they put it in the muscle in your upper arm. my worked for me.

We've used natural family planning for 13 years. Only gotten pregnant when we wanted to!

I've heard of that one, I'll have to look into it.. I don't do well with artificial hormones, so it usually has to be a low dose.

@squishymommy1, can I ask how you did it? Last time I did I used an app, but I feel like there is more to it than that.

me achael630, I actually took a class on it and how to do it properly. It's a lot more involved then just tracking. After so long I know my bodies signs, so I don't physically need to write anything down and chart anymore, but I did for many years.

I decided to just use condoms. I didn't want anything being put in me in any way. I know it would affect my cycle. and I didn't want that.

@rachael630,

I'll have to research it more, because I REALLY dislike artificial hormones.

@do rstbaby_girl, I can't use condoms they end up just making sex completely uncomfortable for me.

@firstbaby_girl,

Never used birth control in my life. Been with my husband for 10 years and when we decided to get pregnant, we did.

I'm sorry. o hope you're able to find something that works for you

I'm getting the paragard and it doesn't have any hormones. It is an IUD, but hormone free. I've never tried an IUD before I've always taken the pill.

It depends on if your breastfeeding too

Yes I just had my postpartum and they prescribed me the one pill you can take breastfeeding.
