I've reached that point where I'm just done and my body is just too freaking exhausted.

I have been on the implant birth control for about 7 years now and I've finally had it. It has treated me really well, for the first like 5 or 6 years, I didn't have a period and when I did it was like years apart and super light with hardly any cramping. It was perfect. I think I gained weight but that could have either been from the BC or just that my diet and lack of exercise was so bad.

Since I got my second round of the implant, they have extended it from 3 years to 4 years and this is my 4th year. I triple checked with my gyno to make sure it was safe and I wasn't going to get pregnant or have any issues and she assured me, I would be fine. But this last year has just been hell on me.

Since September of 2021, when I started my 4th year with the implant I had two absolutely massively horrible periods. I'm talking emptying a large menstrual cup like every 3 maybe 4 hours. Its awful. Plus my cramps are back, I'm super hormonal and I have zero idea if it's just me, the week, my period or my birth control so I've decided to just get off of the BC.

I asked my husband his opinion, since we are not at the having babies stage yet and he informed me that it was up to me and we can just go back to condoms or another form of birth control that works for me and it's completely my decision. (I seriously love this man)

So I think I'm just ready to go back to condoms and get off this bullshit. Here's the issue with being on BC, any menstrual or vaginal issue you have, can never really be pinned down to anything specific because the reasoning will always be, "Oh that's normal for women on that birth control" and to me that's just plain bullshit. I have having something be an excuse even though I feel really off and just...miserable.

I just want to know if it's me, or there is some other explanation, and I really fucking hope there is because I am seriously over this shit.

UGH.
