Got the birth control implant in my arm! No pills for three years. A really excellent option if you are not interested in an IUD or staying on the pill.

Two friends of mine got it and both hated it - periods became extremely irregular and long. One of them was on her period for 2 months and then skipped 4 months. But honestly I’m pretty desperate to get off the pill so I might try the implant 😢

I have nexplanon (about 6 months in) and haven’t had a period. Very happy with it!

I’ve had mine for 5 years (on my second) and love it. For the duration of my first I basically didn’t get a period. On my second I get a period per usual- not sure what caused the change but I’m good either way 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m exactly the same

I have it as well and love it.

I hope your experience with the implant is better than mine! It was fantastic in preventing pregnancy and I loved not having to take a pill. But omg I had bleeding every other week for the entire time I had it in.

SA1 same - I bled for virtually a year straight, I hated it.

How long have you had it? I’ve had mine since November and still can’t decide if I love it or hate it. It was incredible for 3 months until I had a month long period and then great for another 2 months followed by a bout of crippling anxiety for 2 weeks. Can’t decide if this is better or worse than monthly periods 😅

I also hemorrhage when I have my periods. So some form of hormonal is necessary but finding the right combination has been terrible. I've tried six different pills before this one has worked so well.

I’ve had mine about two years.

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US.

How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.

A friend of mine was broken up with right as I was getting in a relationship. She’s very down so when we hang out, I typically don’t bring him up/share details the way I normally would. She’s only met him at 3 group events over 2 months & she’s been very accusatory of him if we show up late for any reason. It feels like she’s projecting all of her negative feelings onto him. I don’t want to walk away from a friendship, but it seems like she just wants me to be single again. Any advice?

I recently decided to slow down communication with one woman on my team because she is constantly trying to have social conversations about her personal life/beliefs and it was super distracting. She noticed that I had been responding less and completely went off on me!!! Why are people like this? This woman is close to 40 and I am 2 years out of college. Is this behavior normal/has this happened to anyone else before? I swear I feel like I’m in middle school again.
