I was just wondering ive only known that
there are certain birth control pills you
can take when your breastfeeding. But can
you get an iud when you breastfeed? And
wich one is better iud wise , iknow theres
like a copper one and another one. I just
want to get the one that last 5 years and
doesnt have like reallybad side affects,
id rather not the pill , def not the shot
or patch I think the iud is better.
Although I might end up switichign to
formula because of my dietary choices. I
figure its better for her that way,. But
im not 100% sure yet, I am trying to eat
better etc it just seems like she isnt
getting satisfied from my breastmilk.
Either that or forumla durin the day and
nursing at night. Im not sure yet.
Another thing. You think I have to wait
till my postpartum checkup to get bc or
can I do it before, they are doing my
postpartum checkup at the hospital I
delivered at but to get birth control I
have to go to the clinic on base. So I
dont know if u can just get on bc whenever
, even if u just had a kid. Im suposed to
schedule my post partum checkup in these
next 3 weeks they said 4-6 wks andi know
im completely healed but still gotta get
the checkup. Prob nm idont got my car
hubbys friend
accidently backed into his when it was
parked and messed up something so hes
taking my car all week or longer grr. I
was gonna do my appt this week but I
cant.

I'm sure you can get bc before your post
partum appt, but as you're not supposed to
have sex untill then, i'd wait. Even if
you think you;re healed, you may not be.
As for the brestfeeding, so what you think
would be best for the baby. I breastfed
trey for the first few weeks but had such
probs and he lost almost a pound in 5
days, that I had to put him exclusively
on formula by 6 weeks. He's a very
smart, healthy (well he has asthma, but
it's not from formula) toddler, so do
what's best for her and you.
Yeah, well the base is closer then the
hospital, wich my post partum hasto be
done at the hospital , I figureit would be
easier to jsut get it over and done with
to get the bc. Since I live 8 min from
the base ya know. And an hr from the
hospital. Im still trying to figure out
what to do. Ive been using formula. Not
all the time. Like las tnight me and
hubby went to the movies my friend watched
the kids and she had a bottle there, today
she had one bottle. But other then that
mostly breastfeeding but its just times
she acts starving so I dunno. But I also
dont like the bc pills they are low
progesterone I think. The side affects
dont sound great. Plus as easy as we got
pregnant both times 3 mths with joseph and
2 weeks with jordynne I dont wanna take
chances thats why im thinkin about the iud
but dont know if that affects
breastfeeding or not
