I am currently looking at the options for contraception as Tom is now 7 months and AF has returned so I can no longer rely on bfing (I know that bfing isn't always safe but for various reasons I was happy to rely on it until 6 months or until AF returned). My problem is that I can't take the mini-pill due to side-effects. This doesn't leave me with many options. I am hoping some of you might be comfortable enough to share what you do, so I can find out what works or doesn't work for people. Also, is anyone using a Mirena? I have had this suggested a possible option. Thanks in advance.
