Ladies I just had a baby 6 weeks ago and my doctor wants me to pick a birth control but I also don't want to pick one that will make me gain weight again.

@MellowGa is that what you use? Are you married because I am1

yep, make him use them, I've been with my wife for 27 years, Birth control is not just a wife's or woman's responsibility. Make him use one or if your done having kids he should get a vasectomy. It's not just the woman's responsibility, if he is a man he will step up to the plate and do the right thing.12

You won't gain weight unless you eat more/move less, or get pregnant again.7

OBTW congrats on the new baby, enjoy the little one. If your breast feeding I would stay away from any oral contraceptive, but I think it is a bit early to go on BC so soon after, especially if nursing. but again, make the man step up tot he plate, it's team work.0

Congrats on the new baby!
Mini pill is fine when feeding (Zeletta is a good one - no TOTM for most users). Weight should come off quite quickly when feeding. Generally though, weight comes on through over-eating!0 -
I re-started birth control 2 years ago. I also lost weight in the last 1 1/2 years. Honestly, the effects are not that bad if your general hormone balance is fine.1

I used the ring for years with no side effects.1

If you're married and exclusively with your partner, natural family planning and the pull out method. Track your cycle and abstain during your fertile days.13

Thank you. This method works well for married couples. If you'e being sarcastic, I'm not sure why; it actually is a pretty great idea to use your own body cycle to keep track of you fertility. Hormonal birth control is not an option for all of us.2 -

Unfortunately (pull out method risks aside) it is quite similar to not eating anything you like because it is a diet. As naturally, the fertile days are the days where the woman is more interested and subconsciously can make that rub off to hubby as well.

Is there some reason no one's suggested an IUD?2
