switching to non hormonal BC due to spotting?
So I have been on birth control since I was 14 (I’m 20 now) and I’ve always been very sensitive to the hormones. I’ve never really noticed any of the depressive side effects that a lot of people report because I already struggle with mental health so it would be difficult to differentiate. However, with every birth control i’ve been on I have had major issues with spotting. I have a Mirena IUD currently, but previously had Skyla and Nexplanon. With Nexplanon I spotted EVERYDAY for about the ten months I had it before switching to the IUD. I have had better luck with both Skyla and Mirena, but I still have that spotting in between periods. Has anyone had this issue and switched to non hormonal birth control because of it?
