Oral Birth Control, what do you take??
Hey!!! So here is a long and TMI story and I would like your help:
I have had my Skyla IUD in for about 2 years while I was dating my boyfriend at the time (he is now my fiancé 💍!!!) I loved my IUD because of my lighter period and my fiancé was still able to 💦💦💦 in me without the fear of getting pregnant.
Welp, recently my gyno took out my IUD, BY FUCKING MISTAKE, when he did the Pap smear. I was so upset. I do not want another iud because I’m hoping to start a family in a year or 2, but I didn’t want my IUD taken out when it was still good for another year.
I’m super paranoid about taking oral birth control again because of possible side effects and effectiveness. I was not dating anyone last time I took oral birth control there was no way for me to get pregnant. I am a big girl and I I heard oral birth control may not be as effective for my size. I have also read reviews on some birth control that can cause severe anxiety and depression side effects. I’m currently taking the Lo Loestrin, but I want to see what everyone else is taking.
My main question: what birth control do you guys take? Have you had any side effects (with your mood or other medical problems I.e blood clots, etc.)? Have you gotten pregnant even with the birth control?
Thanks! I appreciate all comments!
