Another survey - what are you going to do for birth control going forward?
We’re done, so DH needs to get a vasectomy, but hasn’t made an appt yet.

DH is getting snipped. But everything is so backlogged that I'm hearing it could take a year. I'm gonna go back to temping and we'll use condoms at least until ovulation (maybe all the time) until he gets it done. I'm over using birth control. I can't do hormones. My first IUD was great. My second time it completely killed my sex drive.

DH is getting a vasectomy as well. I haven’t been on birth control since our first and don’t want to go on it. We plan to use condoms until my cycle returns and during the time of ovulation. We are hoping we can get it scheduled for the fall.

Another for team vasectomy though we haven’t looked into it. I don’t really want to go on BC so I guess condoms?
For my older two kids, I didn’t resume my period until I night weaned, so at about a year old. I never went on BC between my other kids. We did a lot of just hoping for the best or pull and pray because we definitely wanted more than one kid and were open to a third. I used oral BC before having kids but was awful at remembering to take it. It would only be worse now!

I'm already missing one tube, so during my c section, I'm having them tie the other. Team no more kids after this.

We always used the pull out method. My ovulation was pretty regular every month too and my period never came back for a year and a half after DS. I hated bc (and stopped it when I was like 25) and hate condoms.
I’m not really in a hurry to do anything because I do want one more baby...H is 85% sure he wants one more (lol). He’ll get snipped once we’re done for sure.

Funny that almost all of us are done and seeking permanent BC! aries my DH wasn’t totally sure on #3 or #4. Both times I just didn’t bring it up much and by the time I wanted to make a decision he has decided on his own that he was cool with another baby

I had a paragard before and I’ll be getting another one. I can’t do hormonal birth control. I doubt there will be any more children, but I still don’t want to do anything permanent just yet.

DH will also be getting snipped but we’re in no hurry because my sex drive is basically zero while nursing. So on the occasion it happens we will use condoms. After I stop nursing I actually plan to go back on BCP to help control my acne if it becomes an issue again. I have been getting bad hormonal acne since I started having kids and it helped so much in the past.

Both times I just didn’t bring it up much and by the time I wanted to make a decision he has decided on his own that he was cool with another baby Lol that’s my plan, he only wanted two but he talks more and more about a 3rd and one night (when I was pregnant) I was asking him about being 50/50 on the fence and he said ehh more like 85/15 so I think he’ll come around haha. I do believe that the person who says no gets the final say and it won’t be the end of our marriage if he ultimately decides he doesn’t want 3 but just I don’t feel done yet 😊 for sure not within the next year or two though so we have time.

We haven't discussed it lately. Between DS1 and this LO, we just used condoms. DH has mentioned a vasectomy, but I'm going to leave it up to him for scheduling that.

I'm 99% sure we are done, but because of that tiny 1% of me that was hesitant to get my tubes tied, I am getting an IUD placed during the c-section instead. H will get a vasectomy when we make the decision for real to be done with birthing babies. I've been through enough medical crap dealing with babies haha.

We are definitely done. DH had a vasectomy about 2 years ago. DS, new baby, was one of our frozen embryos. We still have 6 or maybe 7 left, I’m not ready to get rid of them yet, so we are just paying the yearly storage. I told DH he’s stuck with me at least until menopause. I hate taking birth control.
