Christian's on birth control?

Just curious as to what birth control you fellow Christian's deem acceptable?

Touchy topic. Mixed advice online and an embarrassing topic to ask church leaders.
We gave birth to our first 3 months ago so obviously I'm not keen on getting pregnant for at least another year, but I'm stuck on what method to use.
My periods have always been irregular so natural planning would be hard. Condoms are such a mood killer and due to birthing injuries I can't feel much when DH wears one, but it seems like they might be our only option.

There seems to be lots of talk about the pill and IUD causing abortions therefore I'm hesitant to use either without advice and prayer.

Thoughts?

I am a Christian and currently have the implant (have for past 13 years)

Before that I used the pill

Have Christian friends that have used all kinds of contraception
I think it's only Catholics that have very specific views on it

Pretty sure God would want you to use whatever is the best for your health!

Maybe get medical advice from doctors not priests.

My friend is a stout Christian and won't have a coil and they see it as early abortion..

I would think if your religion is anti abortion, then surely any and all steps to prevent having to abort a pregnancy or raise an unwanted child would be deemed acceptable?
