I hate having to drive to the city to get birth control

It's soooo much driving.... And I feel awkward going into planned Parenthood too.

Get an implant. They last for years.

@morrgin I'm working up to that. I'm getting the shot rn to see how my chances are at the implant reacting well with me.

@ForeverGrowingOld most people don't have a problem with them but some i suppose have bad reactions from the hormones. The best side effect is no periods which strangely is healthier for you. I get quite a bit itching where they put it in my arm the first couple of weeks but thats it.

@morrgin idk this is what Dr recommended.

Honestly the shot kinda sucks... I've only had one so far so I'm giving it a fair chance by getting another one since a lot of peoples hormones settle down after 6 months... But it made me super nauseous. I couldn't eat rice, i couldn't eat food that i could taste (thank god for hot sauce, obliterated any taste), I couldn't brush my teeth without puking, I lost 15lbs in 3 weeks cuz I couldn't eat.

On the upside tho I had 15lbs to lose and I was so nauseous I quit smoking...
