Changing my contraception

I used to take the microgynon combination pill and was on that for a year and a half, then my doctor changed my pill to the rigevidon combination pill but ever since I’ve been on that my skin always has breakouts and I always feel sick. I was thinking on changing my contraception to the implant as it would be more convenient for me and wanted to know if I had to go to my doctors to do so or if I could go to a sexual health clinic instead

I think that depends which country you are in. Here on the UK it’s normally done through your drs to my knowledge. Tell them the issue your having, and talk through your options to get what’s right for you
