How to NOT Get Pregnant: OB/GYN's Advice for Postpartum Contraception

[@Violinbyrachel]

Did you just do a soft launch announcement of baby #3?!?! I’m so here for it😅

[@kristenneri2424]

The Marquette NFP method is fabulous for postpartum! Great while breastfeeding and to pinpoint ovulation before your cycles return. They have a whole breastfeeding protocol.

I got an iud after my second. My ob placed them right away after birth if she’s the one that delivers. I wish that she told me there was a small risk for my milk supply, but luckily it was all fine. I had the epidural, so it was supposed to be painless, but it wasn’t quite painless because I had a relatively quick delivery and the epidural didn’t take full effect. I’m really glad to have it done! I just hope it wouldn’t take too long to get an appointment to get it removed when we want to try for our third and final baby.

I didn’t even have sex until after 9months postpartum. The drs tried to put me on a BC pill the day after baby was born I’m like wtf…there is no reason. I’m not interested in sex at all 😂

I had such a bad time with hormonal bc. The copper IUD was the way to go for me!

[@TheDoctorsBjorkman]

Glad you found what worked best for you!

So did you do a copper IUD or get pregnant doing NFP?

[@Careyjmac]

It wasn't obvious to me from your explanation, and if you don't mind sharing, did you choose to get an IUD after your second? Which one? I ask because I had a copper IUD after my first was born and loved it, breastfed for almost 2 years, and then around 2.5 years pp had it removed because we wanted to start trying for our second. Immediately had a chemical pregnancy that my body had trouble resolving, and needed a D&C for. Haven't been able to get pregnant since, and it's been 10 months now of trying (since the IUD was removed). We are starting the process of fertility testing and such now, but I am curious if there are any studies on the impact of future fertility with IUD use, especially the copper one, since you talked about it being so "hostile" to the uterus environment and I wonder if that can impact things even once it is removed. Of course it could be something else in our case and we will find that out soon, but it would be an interesting thing to note as a possible side effect for anyone else considering it as their pp contraception.

How long did you breastfeed Bo for? I am still breastfeeding my 21 month old and just wondering if you started ovulating again while you were still breast-feeding him or when you were finished breast-feeding him?
