This is my first time on birth control, highly recommend it but definitely take the aide effects serious and prepare for it, I didn’t think a lot of it would effect me until I got the implant! And while I love it, I wish I had given myself a lot more knowledge before doubting the changes to my body.

This birth control severely impacted my mental and physical health. This includes anxiety, depression, pelvic pain, irregular periods, heavy periods, spotting, headaches, laziness, grogginess, etc. Please do your research! Speak with a doctor you trust or multiple! Lastly, please consider if birth control is worth the side effects.
