How has birth control affected you?

Question

Answer

The nexoplanon implant was great when I first got it. 2 years into it though that's when I started getting problems. Period lasted for 3 weeks. A few weeks after that I felt funny if you know what I mean. I wasn't sleeping, I was eating everything, headaches, nausea etc. Th went on for 7 or 8 weeks before I went to the doctor. He said there was absolutely no chance I could be pregnant since it was a reliable source of contraception. Any who, a week an a half later I had a miscarriage. It took a further 6 months to get it took out bc no one would!. I went straight in the pill and I suffered terrible mood swings and cramps but I carried on with it. I had enough of that so I stopped taking it and now I'm fine 😊. I rarely have sex since I'm single now and to top it off I'm allergic to condoms

Answer

It made my breasts bigger. It's stopped my cramps enough so that I don't have to be curled around the toilet all day. My period only lasts 2-3 days now and it's pretty light normally. The pill has really helped me. The  only thing I don't like is the bigger breasts.
