Combination birth control pill vs Male condom

Na

I had my first baby in 2024 and decided to breastfeed for about 9 months. After I was done, I decided to get on birth control pills. I have never really been on birth control pills in my life. I have struggled with hormonal acne since I was in 8th grade. It has really affected the way I feel about myself. I was very happy with how my skin looked while on this pill. However, after being on it for about a year, I started noticing averse side effects “down there”. I have absolutely no desire or sex drive which is not normal, it’s dry, and occasionally would cause itching and burning and skin discoloration. I have decided that it’s just not worth it anymore, and I decided to quit taking this pill. I’m very lucky to not have had any other side effects. I’m crossing my fingers that my body and hormones return to the way they were pre pregnancy and pre birth control.

Feel miserable and made depression worse, consistently crying all the time over stupid things, waking up is evil

I have been on the pill for over a year; I don’t really have periods, but other than that I don’t have side effects.

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve had an insane allergic reaction due to these condoms :( very sad

No changes

Overall it's been great, but remembering a pill at a specific time is challenging for me

Condoms did not change any part of my period for me, no side effects of using this form of contraceptive and it has been effective in avoiding pregnancy as well as STDs.
