How do you gals feel about something like this? This hasn’t gone through clinical trials so still early stages.

I had such bad reactions to the Mirena IUD and minipill, I’ve been on the oral combo BC since then. I wish I didn’t need hormones but they help with heavy/painful periods (even skipping them), birth control, and the estrogen helps with acne. I’m not sure if I can give myself a shot 😬 I’m pretty squeamish around needles and bad with pain.

    Tbh it just feels like another way to administer the same drugs. I wish there was more focus on actually developing birth control that didn’t have the wealth of side effects.

    I stopped taking BC a few years ago because it had such an effect on my mood but I’ve sort of resigned myself to starting up with it again.

    I have anxiety around things in my body that I can’t control so the implant is off the table for me anyway and to me this just feels like an implant but worse.
