Currently weighing up pros and cons of the contraceptive pill

Being on the pill does provide security in knowing the likelihood of pregnancy is (very) low as well as providing a stable routine to follow. As I’m not looking to get pregnant any time soon and have issues with regular periods, this does seem like a good option.

However, it does come with hormonal mood swings & other uncomfortable-to-hear-about side affects.

If you’ve found other methods to be more suitable, please comment! I’ve never tried anything else and am definitely curious to know what works for others and why.
