Help! Which birth control should I use?

I go in on Friday to have my csection. I need a long term birth control. No pill or patch. I was thinking of mirena. I don't want the one that goes in your arm. That just freaks me out. Is the shot good? What do you use?

2 periods in one month?? Dang. Lol. I'm too scared to use implanon. With mirena I saw a diagram that had strings. Can you feel them?

I refuse to use hormonal birth control. Will not put anything in my arm and definitely not my uterus. I love my diaphragm and we use condoms from time to time.

I didn't feel it inside but the Dr. Recommended that after my period l check inside me with my fingers to make sure it did not travel.
Mirena was easy and it worked for me. Personally l could not use condoms, l don't like not being able to feel my hunny. Hope you find what works for you!

If you have herpes, the shot can make you have more outbreaks.
The mirena my ex could feel the string.
I have implanon. I sometimes get two "periods" in one month, but really its spotting for fifteen minutes for a few days.
