Contraception patch/suggestions
What is the best contraception that won’t make me emotional and gain weight!🤣🤣
I’ve not been on contraception since I was 17 it made me hate myself so much to the point I felt I had to isolate myself because I was so emotional and hated my body. I can’t take pills because I forget and I really don’t want anything inserted into my body but I DO NOT want to be pregnant anytime soon, I wanna enjoy bringing up my first born without having to worry about falling pregnant again.
I’ve heard of the patch which I’ve really taken an interest to has anyone else used this? And how has it worked for people that are/have been on this? I understand contraception works differently for everyone but it’d be nice to hear everyone’s reviews or suggestions
If only I could trust pull and pray🥲

I've been on the contraception patch before, stopped taking it now. Was on it from 2018 to 2022 roughly. It worked best for us and works simular to the pill in terms of hormone symptoms & 3 weeks on 1 week off. Never had an issue with it. Sometimes the doctor who represcribed it to me didn't know what it was though 😅 It stayed stuck to my skin quite well actually and only needed changing once a week. The only things of note are: it's visible clothing dependant, the sticky residue can cause skin irriation (didn't for me), and make sure to rotate the placement so switching arms or sticking it on your legs next kind of thing. Also personally the withdrawal bleed was a lot lighter than usual. Another option for birth control would be tracking ovulation with ovulation tests and monitoring temperature. We tested this out before using it to become pregnant. Never got pregnant when having sex outside the fertile window but fell pregnant first time trying when using it for conception😅🥰
