birth control

Just wondering opinions not looking for bashing. Im not one for taking any meds and idk what to do. I don't want any more kid for a long time if any more at all and ive tried everything but an IUD. I don't want to go to the extreme of getting a tubal because I'm only 24. That being said I just had my 5 the baby last week. Thoughts on different birth control options?

Could try natural family planning. Google it. No hormones or harmful chemicals in your body and just as effective or more effective than hormonal contraception. if you learn it and do it properly. Its just  charting your fertility and abstaining when you are fertile.

Mirena IUD is what I recommend I had it for eight years and loved it! I had it for the first 5 yrs then when it expierd I had another one put in and had it about 3 yrs. I had it removed to get prego with my baby now wich im due in 2 weeks. This will also be my 5th. Try it out good luck. They also have a 10 yr one that goes in your arm if you dnt want the 5 yr one in your uterus.

Ive been on several borth control pills since I was 16 all of them worked well ( ended up with possible blood clot in lung still inconclusive). I also used the nuvaring as well as had an IUD for 4 years. Everything worked well at preventing pregnancy. I did experience the mirena crash when I had it temoved though for a few weeks but that subsided and I become pregnant several months later!

I've always used the IUD n for me it's the best. I don't get any side effects ecpect for like the 1st months while my body is getting used to it. No weight gain n no pills to take. It last 5 years. Never had any scares. N my period gets shorter . I like it.

The mirena IUD I heard badly has any hormones and it lasts 5-7 years. I'm on baby number 6, and will probably do that one considering I can have it taken out sooner if I want more kids. I don't like taking meds at all including BC and I don't want anything that isn't natural in my body like an iud but I've been giving it serious thought

I had been on the pill for years (ortho tricyclen lo) haven't had any problems in the past with it. I'm expecting my 4th baby & planning on trying paraguard which is a hormonal free IUD  for up to 10 yrs not planning on having any more babies soon lol
