No birth control suits my needs?

Question

The pills/hormonal IUD would increase my depression and I’m already not doing so great 
The copper IUD has hurt too many women and put some in serious trouble
 
Am I just forgetting things? I want to pair two birth control methods (condom + something else) to ensure no pregnancy but I can’t think of one that suits me properly. Any suggestions?

Answer

Personally, hormonal birth control actually HELPED my depression. Unless your doctor specifically recommends against it or you have already had a negative experience, this might be an option for you. Another option might be the Nexaplanon implant. I have a friend with some pretty serious mental illness diagnoses who has had awful experiences with the pill and the IUD, and the implant turned out to be exactly what she needs.

Answer

Ask your doctor about a diaphragm.

Or the Birth Control Sponge

Answer

You could try the Nexplanon implant. It's progestrone only, so the depression side affects are a lot less likely. It's good for 3 years, and I never had an side effects from it...I did have a period every month, but they were more spotting than an actual period.

Answer

There's also patches and long acting injections. Have a chat with your doctor :)

Answer

Natural planning, it takes some getting used to but it works if done correctly.
