So many of you know i've been wrestling with the Mirena v. Mini-pill decision. I told B tonight if we're not going to TTC for a while then i'll probably just get the mirena. It's fully covered and then we won't have to think about it. Well then he drops this bomb on me...

If i seriously want another baby in the next year we can do it. I'm totally shocked since he wasn't the most enthusiastic about us TTC in the first place. He was just along for the ride (ooooh bad pun not intended)...but this is like his idea!! So now i wrestle some more. If i get the mirena i'll likely get it taken out this time next year. I'm hoping we can get pregnant relatively quickly (wishful thinking I'm sure) and we'll have a baby sometime between sept-dec of 2012. Hopefully Tyler won't make me change my mind in the next year!! lol

Aw Kate!!! A lot of different options! When do you have to decide by?

Kate...that is so exciting. Tyler has melted B's heart!! That is so great.

that's why we didn't get the merena this time around....we knew we wanted another by Bella's 2nd birthday (meaing start trying). I'll definitely get it after the next baby just to give myself the 5 years to decide if I'm done having babies or not (we think we only want 2 but aren't completely sure).

If you can be diligent on the mini-pill, then I would do that since it'll only be a year or so before you want to be pregnant again. But, know that lots of women have oopsie babies on the mini pill so be prepared for that as well!!!

That's what i'm thinking Lyz. And I may just do the mini-pill until my cycle returns and then start charting again. I just don't want to be one of those that waits for AF to return and it never does. There is just something very long term seeming about the mirena that is putting me off. I know its not but it seems that way. Getting it after the next one seems like a good plan. I just worry that i'd be in that small % that something goes wrong and I'm infertile and I know I want more babies. So I want to have 2 before I do that. Ultimately I think we'll want three but i guess I can only judge one kid at a time.

Marci, yep it seems that way. Of course the whole time we're having the conversation Tyler was screaming his head off for no particular reason, which leads me to believe that B really means it! He said he doesn't want to spread us having kids out over the next 10 years and he'd just assume we give Tyler a sibling sooner rather than later...but not too soon of course.

Caitlin, if i was to get the mirena I would have to do it before the end of the year for it to be fully covered by my insurance. I have met my deductible this year by having the baby, so the only cost would be my $25 copay. It is $1200 otherwise, so they check to make sure what the cost would be before they give it to you.

WOW!!! lol thats CRAZY that B said that!!! lol it just makes me laugh!!! guys are sooooooooooooo funny sometimes... and they ALWAYS surprise you when you least expect it!!! lol Im excited for you!!! as far as the mini pill vs. minara... I dont know enough about them to decide... after reading taking charge of your fertility and us having such a hard time TTC I wouldnt do either... I would just chart... but thats just me... good luck with whatever you decide to do... its a tuff one!!! HUGE SUPER DUPER FREAKING BIG FAT GIANT MONSTER HOOKER FANGBANGER love ya girlie!!!

[Pebblesbuddy]

Wow! I can totally see you with another little one running around in a year or two. That's crazy he suggested that hah!

[KDD]

I don't really know what to say. It's awesome that B is on board to TTC again so soon. But I can't say either way about the pill vs. Mirena vs. NFP.

Good luck!
