Birth control after surgery

Hi ladies! So I need to get on birth control again because I don’t want to get pregnant until after it is safe to do so but I’m afraid of blood clots as I’m on eliquis for a month after surgery. (Has VSG On 5/16) anyone have feedback on what are good options. I’m also discussing with my GYN this week but personal experiences matter. Thanks!!!

    I've had a Mirena IUD since March 2017. No problems but then again i'm a person that no matter what birth control method I switch to I don't get hit with any side effects.

    I get my next Mirena in March/April 2022.
