And did not enjoy it/was worried about potential side effects but I got a Mirena shortly after which as an aside I LOVE and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone who does want to be on some form of birth control because it’s the most efficacious and with the fewest side effects. the (very small amount of) hormones are delivered locally directly to the cervix rather than systemically throughout the whole body. I used to have debilitating periods and my IUD set me free from their reign of terror…
That said I’m sure there are ways to regulate your hormonal skin and period issues without being on birth control pills and I would 1000% encourage you to see what it’s like!! 🫶 It’s worth a try if you’re not even worried about preventing pregnancy
