Which contraception should I choose if pills give me unwanted side effects?

If you are experiencing unwanted effects from birth control pills, there are other options available to you. You may want to consider trying a progestin-only contraceptive, such as the progestin-only pill, Depo-Provera injection, Nexplanon implant, or an intrauterine device (IUD). These methods can offer effective contraception without the use of estrogen, which may help reduce or eliminate the unwanted side effects you have been experiencing with combination contraceptives. It's important to discuss your options with a healthcare provider to find the method that works best for you.
