I wish I’d known about Bedsider when it was my time to make birth control decisions. I don’t know how it went for y’all, but for me? It was crazy confusing and overwhelming. There are so many different methods with their own scary list of side effects. The doctor pumped me full of technical information, and I left the office feeling no less prepared to make a decision than when I’d walked in.
How do I know which method is best for me?
That’s where bedsider comes in. Their website is full of real life experiences and side by side comparisons of each method. And best of all? It’s in a language you can understand!
I used the pill for many, many years. I only found one brand that left me feeling great, and that was yaz, but I got off of that when all those scary commercials aired. The pill worked for me, but I was a crazy person on it. My moods were all over the place, and I felt nauseated almost every single day. I hated feeling like I wasn’t in control of my body. And because of those side effects, I was wary to try any method that involved hormones (the shot, ring, etc). I finally made the decision to get off the pill, and I went right back to my normal self! I currently pay very close attention to my cycle and keep tabs on what my body is doing: this is also known as the natural-family planning method.
I love the freedom of not having to keep tabs on my pills. But when I was on the pill, they could be found in my bedside drawer.
