Well, make sure you're not pregnant, obviously. But if you are considering using an IUD, don't use Mirena, the plastic one. That one is hormonal and if you're breastfeeding that little girl, it would be a bad idea. I myself have never used an IUD but I know some about them.

Ask your doctor about a copper IUD, because they are non-hormonal and are still 99% effective. These can stay in for up to 10 years, but can totally be removed before then (for kiddie #3).

other than that, I would ask the doctor some more about it, as I won't pretend to be an expert. Some problems I have heard about them is that unlike the hormonal IUD, the copper ones might make your periods heavier and more painful.

So yeah, best of luck to you!

I do not have children and never want them.

The copper IUD is wonderful.

I have an IUD and I love it.

Its non-hormonal (its made of copper, and somehow the copper works as a contraceptive) so I don't have to worry about weight gain or other side effects. Its also easy, because I don't have to remember to take a pill every day or get a shot every three months and so on.

The only thing is when I first got it, my period was super heavy for about 2 months, now its back to normal though.

Also, it makes my cramps worse.....I have never had kids but my doctor says they are like mild contractions. If you can deal with that, then an IUD would be great for you. just take some midol and use a heating pad and that helps the cramps.

Its also very effective, not many people get pregnant while using it and those who do usually do not carry to term bc the IUD interferes with pregnancy somehow.

talk to your gyno about it and see if its right for you (lol, I sound like a commercial)

loved it had it for 3yr. took it out to have one more got pregnant in 1st month once removed put it back in just as had baby and great.(copper iud)
