birth control

[T123]

hello everyone I’m looking for some advice. I recently started a nee birth control and I’m only 2 weeks in. I’m feeling very vulnerable and like I can cry at any moment and very sad. I also don’t feel like myself. It’s very discouraging because I feel hopeless about finding a birth control that’s going to work for me. Has anyone had any good experiences and do the symptoms get better after the 3 months? Thanks in advance

hi,

Birth control can be a nightmare and will depend if you have other things going on too. I too struggle with finding contraception. Which are you on?

I used injection for several months to help with bleeding but also moods because the symptoms of me real cycles made me massively depressed. If this is the case with you, you could ask for anti depressants to take ontop. I did that years ago but that doesn’t suit me now.

The injection didn’t control bleeding for me so I’m now on the coil, 2months in but still bleeding everyday which is frustrating.

I used contraception until I wanted to start my family- had two children three years apart then used the pill again until I didn’t need to. I believe we are very lucky now that we have the control over our bodies and lives now! Do not be coerced into doing anything you do not want- if you feel depressed by taking contraception then perhaps you might benefit from some counselling to help you decide your real feelings . You don’t say how old you are? If you are young you have many years ahead in which to do everything you want!
