There are non hormonal but also if you want to try pills there’s no guarantee that you have insane periods/pain, and if you do then you can always stop taking it! Birth control was the best decision I’ve ever made even tho I was terrified of the negative side effects. Sometimes you gotta jump around to find what’s best
You can always try a method, see how it goes, and just stop or switch if it’s not the right method for your body. Just give it at least 6 days after relying on it for protection (lifespan of sperm). I was terrified to start so I went with a method I could discontinue on my own if it went sideways (ring). The sooner so you start trying a method, the sooner you’ll find the right one for your body!
