TTC #2

[Anonymous]

had a hard time with #1 so hesitant to go back on BC (I am 4 months postpartum).
Did anyone have easier time going on mini pill? have a harder time? any advice is super helpful. TIA!

We weren't having that much sex for awhile. So we used condoms until I was 6 months PP. Then I was ok with getting pregnant again technically, though we were too tired to do it very much. Starting trying in earnest when baby was a year old. Worked within 6 months.

However, my cycle didn't come back until baby was 10 months old since I was breastfeeding. So for me, I think that would have been effective BC.

It also took us a long time to have #1 and #2 came much easier. I did not want to go on birth control so I didn't.

I went right back on the pill but I have always been on the mini pill (I think? Lo Loestrin FE).

We had a terrible time with #1 but #2 came SUPER easily. In fact I had factored in like 4 months of trying only to get pregnant like 6 weeks after stopping BC so it was sooner than we thought was ideal!

I got a copper IUD, not for the longevity but because it enabled me to track cycles before stopping the use of my birth control method.
