@randybrice Just normal hormone changes, it helped with my periods too, that was the main reason of me getting on the pill 12 years ago, but nothing crazy at all, nothing like the nexplanon or IUD, I have the nexplanon now, your first time using birth control I would use the pill, just my opinion, every one’s different, the nexplanon has to far been the best I’ve had so far but it’s not for everyone, the pill is about 70%-80% effective as the IUD and nexplanon are 98%-99% effective. Talk to your OB and they can walk you through everything to find the one that will work did you better. You sound young so just tell the doctor your concerns and ask as many questions as you can and want, there’s no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to your health, in reality you’ll have side effects no matter what you take, the pill made ME gain about 5-15 pounds, the iud didn’t make me gain any weight and the nexplanon( my current) increased my cravings and appetite, but hey, no baby or worrying about getting pregnant. Not everything is 100% effective and doesn’t prevent STDs or STIs but I haven’t gotten pregnant, talk to an OB and you’ll do fine babe!
