Hello! I’m 19 and trying to find an adequate birth control!

I used the patch for a year but went off of it after realizing how sad and depressed I felt while using it. It could’ve been coincidental, but shortly after not using the patch anymore, I felt so much better. Before starting on the patch I had fairly heavy periods with bad cramps, but, after the patch my periods weren’t nearly as heavy or painful. Even after stopping the patch, they haven’t gotten as bad as they once were.

It’s been over a year since I’ve been on birth control and want to get back on it for various reasons, but am very nervous considering my past experience. I’m also afraid of the weight gain aspect because I’m already a plus sized woman.

Id prefer not to take the pill because of how much attention it requires. I’m more so looking for something I can get and forget. Does anyone have any experiences on the IUD? Can it be felt during sex or during normal daily wear?

If you’ve read this far- thank you!
