Breastfeeding moms...what are you doing for birth control?

I have the mirena coil in and it hasn't affected my supply in any way the nurse says its like taking the pill once a week so very minute amounts of hormone.

Abstinence

I got prescribed the mini pill but I'm not too keen on taking that so I think I may go for the copper coil.

At the moment we use condoms. OH was going to get a vasectomy but he's not keen on the idea now for some reason.

Natural family planning.

We haven't used anything as the risks are pretty low of getting pregnant in the first 6 months and we want another anyway. Now we have passed 6 months but hoping it wont be to long before getting pregnant is an option so still not using protection.

I got the copper IUD at my 6 week checkup. So far its okay, my supply seems to be good which is really my main concern lol. Hoping hubby doesnt put off vasectomy to late as the thought of something in my cervix creeps me out

Condoms...tho my husband had a vasectomy so once we know hes sterile....nothing!
