My new baby is 2 weeks old. My next appointment with my OB/GYN is in 4 more weeks. At this appt, she wants to talk about birth control. So far I cannot decide on a method. I don't want to use any hormones, so no pills, patches or shots. My husband and I both dislike barrier methods, so no condoms or diaphragms. I cannot stand gels or douches, no spermicide or suchlike... The intrauterine device is OUT.
We actually want to have more children, LOTS more, we don't mind how soon. I'm young, healthy and fertile. I've already bounced back from pregnancy and a natural delivery. I'm breastfeeding my baby.
HOW do I politely tell my OB that I am not really able to decide on a method of birth control? Or, should I say I'm going to try something like "the rythm method" or "the Billings method" etc. etc., should I just lie and say we're using condoms? Then in two months "Oops, the contraception failed?"
I mean, I want another baby... Shouldn't have to justify it to the doc?
