So often when you google a form of contraception, from condoms, to the pill, to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs, like the IUD), you read about horror stories and worst case scenarios.
It can be really off-putting for someone who is either new to contraception, or is looking to change methods.
So, let’s offer the opposite side of things: what’s your favourite thing about your method of contraception (even if you don’t use it for pregnancy prevention)?
For me, the implant (implanon) has been terrific. I haven’t had a period in months, no longer get intense nausea (caused by my period), and don’t have to worry about it – it’s in my arm and I’m constantly protected!
