Birth Control
"When I was 19 I developed pulmonary blood clots as a result of using traditional birth control pills, and so I cannot use many types of hormone based birth control methods. I tried the Paragard IUD, which was miserable (awful cramping/ super heavy periods.) So, I had that removed about a year after it was inserted. After a year of just using condoms, I went back to my GYN to see if I had any other options. This is when she pointed me into the direction of Nexplanon. I had it implanted in June of this year. I haven&#039;t had a period since. A little spotting in the beginning, but nothing major. Its been great. The only thing is that I HAVE had a little random cramping, but nothing ibuprofen can&#039;t fix. I love it, but will update if that changes."
