there are hormonal methods: the pill: taken once a day , the patch (ortho evra): used once a week, the ring (nuvaring): used once a moth, the shot (depo provera): once every three months, an implant (implanon): once every three years. if you want to have another child soon then the pill, the patch, and the ring are better options. these all have side effects, so you might want to try other non hormonal methods of birth control such as condoms, spermicide, a diaphram, the sponge, fertility awareness, and withdrawal.
There is the depo shot, the pill, that thing that goes in your arm, condoms, and a vasectomy for your husband.
i would say condoms. i'm not a huge fan of the pill, since it causes side effects.
i would go on the pill or the patch
talk to your doctor
Depo Provera is a shot you get every 12 weeks (3 months). There's good ol' fashion birth control pills, condoms (of course), a patch that you can wear on your arm. You should book an appointment with you Gyno and talk about it. If you're thinking about having another kid I would go with condoms probably. Some women take longer than others to get pregnant after getting off of BC. As for weight gain.. well that's a gamble. I've had friends not put on an ounce of weight while on BC and then there is people like me who put on 10 pounds from it.
So like I said, talk to an OBGYN or go to a family planning clinic to talk about your options for BC. They're more than happy to explain it all to you (because I know I probably left a lot out :P).
