birth control
"Nexplanon was really the only option that would work for me. IUD would have been too painful to insert, pills would have been forgotten to get taken, don't even get me started on shots (I hate needles). Anyways the first few months my period was irregular as the doctor predicted that it would be. I don't think I gained much weight or got headaches, but my emotional (as well as physical) state did change. About 5 months in my period finally stopped and I was ecstatic. I didn't have any cramps, my mood was back to normal, I didn't feel tired anymore! Life was great. I like to think back at that time as a honeymoon phase( so blissful). Now the irregular periods have started back up again and they are back with a vengeance."
