I just had my son four weeks ago and am thinking about using an IUD (not copper) and would like it if anyone could share - or + experiences with me so I can make a more informed descision. I had trouble with depression and conceiving my son during and after depo, so that is not an option and I do not like how long it takes to get out of your system. The pills on the other hand tend to get forgotten, I have 3 kids and number 1 and 3 are BCpill babies, so I would like a little more control over when/if I have my next baby. Thank you for any info.

If you had trouble remembering to take the pill, have you considered NuvaRing or the patch (Ortho Evra) at all?

I can't look into anything with estrogen right now because I am breastfeeding.
