I’ve been on the patch, the ring, and the pill. I’m currently on the pill and I don’t have a problem except I started to see acne on my back and the one on my face keeps getting bigger and last for days... I didn’t have a huge problem with acne so I’m getting worried since I’m on the combination pill, and I don’t want to switch to the mini pill since it might make it worse. A few friends have recommended paragard and I’m also interested in it because it’s hormone free but I’m skeptical about things inside my vagina for years... plus I’ve heard many scary stories. Although I won’t have to worry about paying birth control for several years and it’s very effective I want to outweigh the pros and cons. My periods already last about 6 days and are heavy, which I don’t mind but I don’t want to bleed more than normal because then what’s the point of birth control to enjoy sex?

TIA
