Birth Control
"Okay: If you&#039;ve been on birth control (pill version) and you&#039;ve skipped your placebos and have had no period for a while + getting an IUD seems too invasive/ the possible risks are not worth it- this is the method for you. I&#039;ve been on birth control for many years and I decided to switch methods because of the political climate. I was super worried that I&#039;d spot on Nexplanon because that seemed to be the main problem with this method. However, I believe that because I had already been skipping my placebo pills, Nexplanon didn&#039;t cause any spotting of any kind. Honestly, besides mild soreness for the first 5-7 days (I mean you&#039;re having a rod inserted in your arm), it&#039;s been absolutely fantastic. Now I don&#039;t have to remind myself of the pill."
