Breastfeeding & Contraception

[MantaRay]

I have posted in health but got no repsonse, so either no-one is comfortable to share or no-one saw it.

I am still bfing Thomas who is 7 months and need to find some suitable contraception but I can't take the mini-pill. If you are comfortable to share, what are you doing/were you doing and what was good/bad about it? I'm also wondering if anyone has any experience with the Mirena as this has been suggested as a possible option.

I was bf and got Implanon when Ned was six weeks old. No problems at all with it.

Mel, I have a mirena, I think it's great. I've answered with a bit more detail in your other thread
