What long-term birth control pills to take?

Patient's question:

Because I already have two children and don't plan to have a third, but I don't have the courage to have an abortion. My husband doesn't usually like to wear a condom, and he takes the birth control pill after sex every time. However, the doctor said that it's best not to take more than three birth control pills in a year. What about taking medication while breastfeeding long-term?

Doctor's answer:

You already have two children and do not plan to get pregnant again. In this case, you can consider getting an intrauterine device (IUD). Using an IUD is also a relatively suitable method for breastfeeding. If the IUD is restored, it would be quite ideal. If you are not ready to use an IUD for the time being, you can also take short-acting birth control pills, such as desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol tablets. Except for one breastfeeding method, subdermal implantation, which is effective for 5 years.
