Birth Control
"I had a baby about four months ago. At the 8 week postpartum checkup, I got the Nexplanon implant. Many women (according to my midwife) go for the IUD (Mirena or Paragard) but the thought of a piece of plastic sitting in my cervix/uterus after I&#039;ve just had a baby seemed like a minor form of torture. So I asked which birth control methods could be taken while breastfeeding and she recommended Nexplanon. I&#039;ve had no period, no mood swings, and it did not affect my milk supply. I don&#039;t even remember it&#039;s there 95% of the time. I would recommend this method of BC esp if breastfeeding. Also it&#039;s covered by Medicaid."
