Opinions on Birth Control???
I’ve been on various different forms of birth control since I was 15 (I’m 20 now), and every single one I experienced negative side effects. The first pill I was on put me in the hospital because my liver was about to fail(jaundice, BROWN pee and more), The nexplanon implant made me have the most inconsistent bleeding patterns ever (bled for a month straight once), and then two different brands of pills made me gain over 20 pounds and I experienced awful acne. I experienced these major side effects along with all of the common ones like sore breasts, headaches, anxiety, low libido etc. I’ve had many people tell me that it’s better to be on some form of birth control and that the side effects are worth it but after doing extensive research on the long term side effects of prolonged synthetic hormone use I’ve decided to just go back to using condoms only. If anyone has any opinions regarding birth control pills/implants/shots I would love to hear them, good or bad! I’ve heard plenty of advice from my doctor but would love to know if any other women have thoughts similar to mine when it comes to this topic.
