Loved this post so much. I am dealing with hormonal acne right now after going off the pill in December and I am definitely taking away LESS = MORE. I want to be kinder to myself and accept that maybe my acne is just my body trying to tell me something & not punishing me💕
The timing of this post, wow! I had a salpingectomy in April, gave myself six weeks to heal, and told myself I would finish this pack of birth control pills and then see what happens. I’m due to take my last pill TONIGHT! I appreciate all the detail you put into this post and am especially glad that you made it available to free subscribers. I signed up for a paid subscription as soon as I finished reading. Thank you!
I would love to hear your pros/cons about the paraguard. im considering switching to it from the pill and dont have many people close who can speak to it!
I’ve had mine for 6 almost 7 years now and I love it!! Have had absolutely no issues except for cramping and a heavier flow for the first 1.5 years. My period are back to normal and maybe even lighter than before?? It’s great. If you want more information or have any questions please feel free to dm me.
I had no cons! I loved it — truly set it and forget it, no hormonal ups and downs. TMI I did have heavier bleeding during my period, and after about 5 yrs I got an infection (minor) that required taking it out to heal. My OB now said there’s a class action lawsuit against it now tho as women have had serious complications (you can Google)

Out of curiosity, which IUD did you have? I loved my Paraguard (non hormonal) but it was not without faults.
Regardless, such a helpful post — Different scenario but looking to balance my hormones postpartum and this is a great place to start!
