Birth control alternatives
Posted by bella on 3. 5. 2024 at 20:13Hey everyone, I’ve been researching birth control options lately, but I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the choices out there. I’m looking for something effective but with minimal side effects. Also, I am open to other suggestions than just BC. Any suggestions?

Like the IUD, it’s highly effective and requires minimal maintenance once it’s in place. I also think it is maybe a better option since it does not require application directly into the uterus. -

But you should definitely talk this over with your gynecologist.-
