Getting off BC?

Question

Hi there 😊 just wondering if anyone would be willing to share their experience getting off birth control, specifically Nexplanon and not for the purposes of getting pregnant. I HATED the side effects it gave me, so I had it removed and it has been about a month since my appointment. 
How long did it take you to regain a healthy cycle?
What is your favorite natural/holistic method of birth control? (Aside from cycle tracking, I know there are these fancy thermometers or something that help you track 🤔)
Thanks! 💛🌹

Answer

When I came off Nexplanon, I immediately started having (normal for me) periods. I had mine removed 6/1, had about 5 days withdrawal bleeding and then started a period 6/22. I've had one every 20-25 days since. I do have PCOS and suspected endometriosis so my cycles aren't usually quite normal or healthy.
As far as holistic birth control, I've never tried it, so I wouldn't know.

Answer

It took me about two cycles to regulate after removal. 
The only way to prevent babies without any kind of birth control is cycle tracking like you said.
The thermometers you’re talking about are Bass Body thermometers. You take your temp with them first thing in the morning when you wake up every morning.
The only downside to using the thermometer is that it doesn’t tell you WHEN you’re ovulating, just if it happened already.
