I'm currently 38 weeks and 5 days with my second child. After I had my first I used the mini pill for I was breastfeeding, but the pill wacked out my hormones and I didnt have a regular period for months after I stopped taking it. I don't plan on having another baby for a while but don't like the idea of an IUD and don't want my hormones wacked out again. Anyone have any ideas that I could toss around with my OB at my 6 week appointment?? any and all help would be greatly appriciated!!

i've heard about a copper one that is supposed to be the most natural and least interfering, but honestly don't know much about it. I justhad my third and hubby's getting fixed. birth control makes me nuts. lol. and i don't like condoms. although the lamb skin ones i think is what they are - feel better. still. but i'd ask options that don't involve hormones. diaphram type stuff. or foams. just ask what options are that aren't a pill or shot or patch. should have some options for you.
