6-week post-partum checkup on the 1st

We're going to talk about birth control
then. I really don't want to get on the
pill again, and I don't want anything
semi-permanent like an IUD (which isn't
covered under my insurance anyways.) but
I'm not totally sure what other types of
birth control there is and what the side
effects are. I kinda want to get the shot,
but I heard it makes you gain weight? As
shallow as it is, I just spent 9 months
gaining weight, I want to enjoy being
skinny again, thankyouverymuch.
So what do you girls recommend? What are
you on, what have you tried? What side
effects are possible and which ones have
you experienced?

I've been on ortho lo and depo. I can
honesty say both are wonderful! I haven't
gained weight on either of them. Ortho
might have improved my acne and depo might
have made it worse, but I don't really
know because I've never had a good
cleaning schedule.

you put the nuva ring in yourself for 3
weeks then take it out the week of your
period
 then put it back in
yourself.

I have heard a lot of good things about
the nuvaring, but if you get queasy than
it wouldn't be the best...I have met three
people that use it and have yet to gain
weight...They all have lost weight really
easily on it. And without any side
effects. My friend is heavy set, and in
the past 4 months she has lost 30
pounds...really easily...My cousin went on
it after she stopped breastfeeding, and
she lost all her baby weight plus an extra
ten poundes...Another friend gained weight
on the pill, and lost weight quickly when
switching to the ring...
Might want to try it...At least give it a
shot....

I've been on the depo. Which I have said
before I loved it! I had to change because
of a problem I was having. Then I was on
the patch. I liked not having to remember
everyday with that. But yet again I was
still having the same problem. Then I
tried the ring but was getting very
frusterated with my problem and only used
it for a month. I think they are all very
good and easy to maintain. I don't know if
I gained weight on any of them but I must
say it was hard to lose weight on the
depo. But I nursed and it was great for
that. Plus no peroids! I don't know
personally about IUD or know anyone who as
used it. Good luck!

I have used depo and it was great for 4
years. During the shot I never had a
period and I didnt have to remember a pill
everyday. I never had to worry much.
Just once you get off the side effects can
get bad. I bled for a whole month and it
took about 8-9 months for my cycles to get
back to normal and its hard to conceive
within a year of being off of it.
But hey if it works for you then do it.

I'm currently "off" right now because I
haven't gotten my next shot and it was due
in december. I haven't actually bled yet.
I did spot once during the day when I was
volunteering with my mom at her school,
but it went away in about 2 hours.
