I’ve (20,F) been on birth control for a couple months now and I’m having like intense side effects from it. It was like making me so depressed to the point that it was giving me thoughts I shouldn’t have (I’m sure you can guess). I can’t feel anything penetration wise. I can’t cum at all. Cramps are awful. I want to get off it so bad but I’m nervous about other birth control methods.
I don’t personally have a problem with the pull out method itself. My boyfriend (22,M) is very sensitive so he cums almost instantly and then puts it back in. So I feel like it would be a bit of a boner killer to pull out a couple seconds in and then clean it up and then come back. And condoms for some reason irritate me really bad and throw off my ph. I thought maybe it was the latex but I got latex free ones and it didn’t help. Has anybody found a non-hormonal birth control method that has minimal side effects? I know iuds and everything. I’m scared of how bad it’s going to hurt and also, if it can be felt or painful during rougher sex.
