Hi everyone,
I’ve been on birth control for nearly five years and I’m thinking of coming off of it but I wanted to hear your thoughts.
I was on the combo pill but had to be moved to the mini pill due to migraines. I stayed on the mini pill for a few years and had frequent bleeding (not to the degree I have now). Last year I switched to the implant in the arm and I have been bleeding nonstop for about 2 months - a lot of blood.
It’s getting to be a bit much for me now, and although my bf and I much prefer being protected this way, I don’t know if I can last much longer bleeding all the time.
It stops us from having sex as much as we usually would and stops him giving me oral (which is what I mostly orgasm to) so it is impacting our sex life, which is the reason I went on in the first place .
We are both very stressed about pregnancy and I stress about using condoms as I’ve had them break/ get stuck inside me before. So I’m feeling really confused rn about whether I should continue sticking it out or just quit.
(I don’t want the iud)
Sorry it’s long xxx
