As far as your physical, mental, & emotional health, do you feel like birth control has had a positive or negative impact?

Question

Answer

psychically it stops your body from doing what it's naturally supposed to do!
periods are out of wack/end, weight gain/loss, (mentally) it's nerve wrecking as you don't know when it'll come or end, nor the length.
and if you do choose to conceive, you have to wait an undetermined amount of time so it all gets out of your system.

Answer

I had the implantation bar for almost 6 years. Got one out when it expired and got a new one popped right back in. Because I had it for so long I didn't connect my new attitude and mood to it, cause I changed over time. More annoyed easily, quick to argue, my temper was a little more fiery and I overreacted to situations really quickly. I finally had it removed, and switched to tablet form, then nothing. The difference is clear as day. I genuinely feel like my old self. My mood, attitude, out look have all improved. I started taking prenatal vitamins and even my so jokes they must be happy pills. I'll never get the bar again

Answer

Answer

It destroys my sister's mental stability, she can NOT take hormonal birth control.
I, however, am leveled out by Depo. I'm estrogen dominant and Depo really makes me so much more functional.

Answer

Birth control has been great for me. I usually get the first 3 months of side effects when I start but other than that it has worked for me

Answer

Different for everybody, but it decreased my sex drive which took a toll on my relationship. Also one pill made me puke each night for a few days until I took it with dinner.
