I’m at a loss… 25NB need birth control but scared to take hormones
Hi there, I really need birth control but I’m scared of taking anything with estrogen/progesterone in it, due to dysphoria.
I’m at a loss because all the options have downsides. Condoms cause sensory issues. Pulling out doesn’t work. The copper IUD has a high likelihood of causing excruciating pain (neither my mum or sister could tolerate it). Surgery isn’t an option at my age. And everything else is hormonal…
Currently thinking the best option is to try the pill or mini-pill… or maybe injections or implant. But would this cause top growth? (FYI I’m not on T). And what about sex drive? And emotional l changes?
Any advice greatly appreciated… I’ve had to take Plan B for 3 months running, which I realise isn’t safe long term.
