Everyone reacts to each pill differently. So everyone is going to have a different answer, but as for the two year time frame it really shouldn't make any difference. Every pill should allow you to ovulate as quickly as the month after you come off of it.

Ok thank you

I had my check today. I’m on the list to get a coil put in but got the pill until that appointment so I’m protected

If you are breast feeding you can only have the single hormone progesterone only one otherwise ant are good. They should ask you questions to find the one that should suit you as some aren't suitable if you have various family history

It can take 6 months after a combination pill to get your cycle back so it's not recommended if you want to get pregnant again sooner rather than later. As another mentioned, you don't want estrogen if you're breastfeeding. An IUD should not be inserted until 6 months pp as it can damage your cervix and uterus as they are healing and vulnerable. You might want to consider just condoms to let your hormones settle and your body return to semi normal. You're only 6 weeks pp.

Yes everyone will tell you different things that work for them. So try which best works for you. I am breastfeeding and on the combined pill with no issues. I did the same after my son. I also caught my second straight away on the combined pill so it really does vary from women to women. Good luck
