The only reason I went the "thing" route was because I was told by a bariatric surgeon that in order to have the surgery, I needed a reliable birth control, and I didn't want hormones to mess with my mood. Just remember, even if you try the "thing" it can be taken out at any point if it's not right for you.
Thank you, Scarlet. I hope so and yes, for progesterone. I can't take the normal treatment which is oral progesterone because of blood clot risk. She told me that in her opinion this is the best, safest option for me. I just don't want it. Then again, I don't want any of this, so... ugh. I've been reading about the side effects and one of them is depression! I want to say to her dude, I'm already fighting depression just at the thought of getting the damn thing; how much worse will it be if I do?! Ugh.
