To begin with after the birth of my daughter I wanted to nurse. BC can SOMETIMES interfer with establishing a good milk supply so my Dr prescribed me a Progesterone Only Pill (POP). I've tried more than one kind (moved, changed Drs, Drs change prescription) and neither one lowered my libido or caused me to gain weight. In fact while on the POP's I lost 60lbs after delivery within about 9 mo. POP's are nothing like Ortho. I'm currently on Seasonale which I love. I have a period only 4 times a year and it's such a low estrogen dose that it does not lower my libido, give me migranes (I always used to get migranes when I hit the placebo pills), nor does it make me gain weight. I've heard quite a few complaints about Ortho and Depo. I have yet to hear a complaint from someone on Seasonale.

As far as I know with IUD's they can be particularly uncomfortable to have inserted. "You can also have an IUD inserted in the hospital right after having a baby, if the delivery was normal and the uterus is shrinking normally. There is a higher risk of expulsion if an IUD is inserted right after delivery." WebMD

IUD's can increase the intensity of mentral cramping so consider ir carefully if you have a history of mentral cramping.
