Contraceptive Advice

Hi mamas I’m worried about getting pregnant again. I am 27 and just had my second baby. I wish to give myself a long break of about 5 years before completing my family size. I have only used the depo provera injection which made me gain a lot weight and I’m not sure I want to take any hormonal pills. Has anyone used any contraceptive that works well for them ? Would appreciate some recommendations.

I don’t know which one works but I know which one doesn’t (for me). I got pregnant using IUD copper so I’m not doing that again after I have my first baby.

I was on the copper IUD for 5 years. If I was going to have a gap, I would do copper IUD again. 1 in 1000 chance of getting pregnant. Which if I remember correctly has the lowest odds. Every contraceptive has a risk of getting pregnant on it. Just pick which method works best for you.

I took the pill for 9 years and didn't have any issue with weight or any other side affect. I will be restarting once I'm 8 weeks post partum

@Diana which pill were you on?
