What’s best?

Question

I’m 14 and going to the doctor soon to ask about birth control. My mom is totally supportive of it. What’s the best option for me? I have semi bad acne, I get extremely nauseous to the point where I feel like I’m going to throw up. I just don’t really want my period every month. I don’t care much about weight gain. I can be thick and happy😌. I know about combination pills etc but I’m indecisive. Will the doctor choose what’s best for me? Or do I get to choose?

Answer

I started BC at 16 and chose to go with the shot at that time. It was easiest because I only had to go in every 3 months to get another shot and didn’t have to worry about it again. The first year I had light spotting that was consistent everyday but no period pain or symptoms. My second year on it I never even had a period. However, I did gain about 30-40 lbs and struggled to lose it. It’s been 4 years and I still haven’t lost it. It wasn’t until I went to college that I chose to switch to the pill. I have severe cystic acne and the pill has helped to lighten things. I haven’t had any weight gain and have normal light periods. I would recommend discussing all options with your doctor and what you’re hoping to control with the BC and then decide 😇

Go for the implant definitely!!! I’m away to be 16 and i got it like a month ago haven’t had my period!! Been in a better mood and I have started eating a bit more (personally for me this is a issue but I’ll figure how to control it) 
It’s really good and virtually painless after the insertion and you don’t need to worry about pills :))

Answer

Go for the implant! I got mine at 16 and loved it. I had hardly any side effects and I had no periods for half the time I was on it and when I did have them they were light and really spread apart. Plus you don’t have to worry about it for three years. Personally I’d avoid the shot, lots of people I know have found it distressing. I had a really hard time on the pill, it was horrific. The IUD is similar to the implant but it can be painful, esp if you haven’t had a kid before

Answer

I'm 14 and I've been on it for sometime now. Mine was only used to keep my period on track, because I would have 2-3 times a month and it was horrible constantly having mood swings. The one I am on does NOT prevent me from getting pregnant, so if I where to have sex there's nothing stopping me from getting pregnant. The type is Loestrin if I'm not wrong. In my opinion it helps alot with my period you just have to take it on time and try not to miss a day or two because then it'll get all wonky.
