Hi ladies,
I'm wonder what people would suggest for birth control?
I've just had my second child and I'm faced with getting back on birth control. I've had the implanon since I was 16 (had 2, one before my first and one after) but since being off it I've noticed how moody and anxious I was while I was on it. I don't want the pill or shots as I'm forgetful, so I want a sort of set and forget thing haha.
So what birth control do you use, what are the side effects and would you recommend it?
Thanks ladies!!!

I liked the Nuva ring. You insert it for three weeks and take it out for the 4th. Looks like a big rubber band and has an extremely low dose of hormone. I used to set an alarm in my phone to remind me to take it out. It's pricey but for me it was worth it. Also if you do have side effects you can just take it out yourself so no hassles.
I had the Mirena. It almost cost me my relationship. Okay that's an over exaggeration.. Haha. BUT for 5 years I had no sex drive.. At all. Ever. I had concluded that something switched off during birth lol. In all seriousness though I wouldn't recommend it. Google the side effects. Everyone is different however this is a very common complaint.
