Story line short. I have stage 2 endometriosis. Some months are worse than others. I am on nexplanon for birth control to help with the endo symptoms. Which it does. I got my renewal January 2023 and ever since that, my periods where alll over the place (mind you never was before that), I have become moodier, acne like a teenager, low sex drive, weight gain that I can’t get off. One side effect of it is higher risk of viral infections (which I haven’t had) but am scared of cause my youngest has PANDAS.

Question would be do I risk the pain getting off the nexplanon and have my husband get a vasectomy. (No more kids for us, 2 is enough stress especially with my youngest having medical issues and already 35.)

If you were in my shoes what would you do?

Edit to add: I have spoken with my dr and she told me that is all my decision and that a pain plan would be in place. My husband is ok with the vasectomy as it’s much less invasive than getting tubes tied.
