Answer

I feel like there are horror stories with all birth control. I have the IUD and haven’t had problems.

Answer

I use the shot and i love it, my preference until i can find a doctor to sterilize me.

Answer

I have an IUD, the pills had also made me feel super sick. I must’ve tried 5 different kinds. 
I highly recommend the IUD. And if the pills are making you sick, there is such a thing as a non-hormonal IUD, so that the rest of your body isn’t effected by your birth control. The most annoying thing is that spotting does last a while, but once that 3 month or so period is over, it’s totally worth it! And the insertion process is quite uncomfortable but, hey, there’s no such thing as perfect birth control, lol.

Answer

Pull out method, has been effective for over 4 years for us. Definitely not for everyone though.

Answer

Condoms! I am very against hormones

Answer

Before we became pregnant, I used the Glow period tracker app, and just did natural family planning! My hubby and I just got creative and connected other ways when I was fertile. Pills caused some issues for me, we don't really like condoms, and I didn't want something so long-lasting like an IUD. It worked very well for us, and we didn't get pregnant until we were ready. I won't go back to another form of birth control.

Answer

It’s about you and what works for your body. I can’t take birth control pills because they make me beyond sick- it seems as if too much hormone makes me vomit and I tried two brands/ hormones. I had the arm implant when I was 15 for three years- Implanon NOT the new Nexplanon (I believe they discontinued the Implanon version) so, I got the Nexplanon and it totally sucked for me. Again, bleeding none stop for full three months. The procedure for the rod isn’t bad but it hurts like hell especially when it comes time to remove because it eventually attaches to the muscle. My doctor had to yank it out of me. I was completely sore. I was left with horrible inner arm marks that will be there forever (4 marks to be exact) 
The patch was out of the question for me because I heard so many stories of unplanned pregnancies due to the patch. 
Currently on the IUD Mirena and it’s so so right now. I’ve been bleeding for a whole month. I really want to like it because it’s so effective, no marks on my arms, and it eventually stops periods. I’m still weighing out the options. 
But do what works for you- hormone or no hormone. Looking for Long term or short term. Try to weigh out the options because they all come with a cost. 
I do not recommend the depo- gain weight, period eventually stop after a while- so the longer you take it, the more longer it will take till you’re back on a regular cycle to know when to get pregnant and some woman are irregular and unable to conceive for a whole year. 
Pull out method works for me too. Your partner needs to pull out- takes discipline and knowing your body. My husband and I try to reframe from sex when I’m ovulating. You’re body tells you when it’s time- so he’ll either be on his a-game lol or condom. 
**sorry for the long story!

Answer

Sterilization because I don’t want kids
