What BC do YOU personally recommend and why?

Question

I want to get on BC soon and I'm curious as to what works best for others and if you'd recommend.
no rude comments I'm literally just fuckin curious.
I'm thinking about the implant tbh.

Answer

I am 21 years old & i personally have the Mirena IUD. It is the hormonal type, rather than the copper. I experienced light bleeding for 1 month after insertion. I do still get my period, but it is much lighter than what my normal used to be. I only need regular absorbency tampons when before i needed super/+. I would recommend this to someone who would be horrible at remembering to take a pill everyday; it is a method good for 3-5 yrs and requires little to no management after it is inserted. I also have high bp so my midwife recommended that i did not use the pill method. I didn’t choose the Nexplanon only because the insertion route made me nervous, but this is the method most recommended by the physicians at the clinic I work at. It is another method where you don’t need to remember something for it to take effect. So this would’ve been my second choice. 
That’s a lot of just random details but I hope this helped in some way lol. 
And remember, no matter what birth control you use....😊

Answer

I use natural family planning. This app helps me to know when I’m ovulating, but of course I can tell when I’m ovulating based on the changes I experience throughout my cycle. Right now I am taking the mini pill due to breastfeeding but will definitely go back to NFP. I love knowing myself and my body. I like knowing that I’m not putting anything into my body that doesn’t belong there. This method worked for 2 years and I got pregnant the first time we had sex on an ovulation day. It was interesting because I immediately told my husband that I would get pregnant. Sure enough... about a month later... BAM.

Answer

I'm in the shot, if I had the pill (which I can't anyway due to health reasons), I'd forget to take it

Answer

I’ve done the pill, the shot, and IUD. 
I had the fewest issues with the IUD. No issues actually. And for 4 of the 5 years I had no period....added bonus. 
The shot was once or still is linked to osteoporosis and caused weight gain and I suck at remembering to take a pill.

Answer

nuvaring had it for 8 years and loved it

Answer

I’m on the patch and I’m a huge fan!

Answer

Implant, last longer, don’t have to worry about it, and not visible

Answer

Nuva ring!! Less to keep track of, compared to the pill, and not as long term as the iud/implant, not painful at all, easy to use, and I couldn’t feel it when it was in me at all.. neither could my partner. I’m a fan!
