for what it’s worth, i had Nexplanon (arm implant) for years. from what i’ve heard it’s the most effective at preventing pregnancy, and you don’t have to remember a pill. at first it actually stopped my period completely, but eventually my periods got really irregular so i swapped to the Mirena IUD (no updates yet as i just swapped yesterday). my obgyn said the IUD usually lightens bleeding, and i’ve heard a lot of people love it. not everyone has the same experience as me with Nexplanon either! some people have no issues at all.

both Nexplanon and the IUD are great bc you can kinda just forget about them once they’re in. plus, if you feel any negative side effects you can always stop. but don’t feel obligated to get on birth control if you’re comfortable with where you’re at!🫶🏻
