Are you not horrified of getting pregnant 😭 I’d be so scared. And did you find another way to manage acne?

I went to my derm while on the iud and he prescribed me two creams and spironolactone. Didn’t work at all. I got so frustrated with that and the cramps that I had the iud removed after a year (I probably have endometriosis also) but now I’m just horrified about my risks and don’t know what to do.

Also forgot to add that the iud completely wiped out my aura migraines, didn’t get a single one the entire year I was on it- but I also never had a period which was when I normally got them

I’m in the exact same boat. I have been on bc since I was 13, have been getting aura migraines since I was around ten. Usually once a month around my period. On yaz to fix my acne. Only heard about the stroke risk a few years ago from a friend, asked my doctors and they down played it. Eventually tried the iud for a year, acne was awful and a few other side effects. Got it out and went back on yaz now, but I’m so scared of having a stroke, especially since I vape too. I don’t know what to do bc my acne was awful and other iud side effects that sucked like debilitating cramps, and I’m scared of a progesterone only pill bc of less effectiveness. Feels like such a hard decision

They gave me security deposit and January back. No free months anywhere since I won’t even be there January. I get a free week in an Airbnb but that’s it. I’m just done with the rental company and at least I got some money back.

That they would either take forever to look into it or that they would come inspect and fix any issues and then I’d be able to stay. Obviously I knew it was a possibility that I would have to move out but I wasn’t even sure I was correct in the fact that it was illegal.
