Better to have side effects than be pregnant in this economy

I’m not a fan of the fact that it has so many side effects, but I’d rather endure those than be pregnant when I’m not ready

I’ve been on the pill for over 6 years. Don’t really have any side effects other people talk about. Guess I’m one of the lucky ones?

I take it for my cysts. Personally I think it can be a super helpful tool. Are there side effects, yes, however most things now a day are “gonna kill you” so might as well be relieved or safe if the time you have

I have an iud and got literally the best possible scenario. Kind gyno, not much pain, no cramping, no side effects, period only dares show it’s ghastly face a few times a year. Life is beautiful

I started birth control when I was 15 as well, I didnt experience anything like that. Perhaps some people have the genes for the possibility of certain issues and birth control triggers it? Like epigenetics
