My experience : Thinking of trying to switch from the pill to iud/implant but I’m worried about side effects

---

I’m 16f and I’ve been on a combination pill for about 4 months now. I’ve had an overall positive experience with it but it has impacted my appetite and mood some (not nearly as bad as I’ve seen for some others though). It’s also caused my periods to take a lot longer to end. I have iron deficiency anemia and very heavy periods normally, and initially the pill helped a lot but my last two periods Ive had bleeding up to 12 days. In spite of all this I would definitely keep taking the pill, its helped me with cramps, iron deficiency, and of course not getting pregnant, but it’s difficult for me to manage. In addition to anxiety about remembering to take it/bring it with me whenever I go somewhere, my parents are very conservative and absolutely cannot find out I am sexually active. Having to deal with picking up and concealing 2 months worth of pills and packaging has been incredibly difficult. I’ve been wanting to switch to a more hands-off method for a while now but in my reaearch/conversations with people who have them it seems like some people have terrible experiences with implants (the main method I’m interested in atm) and iuds and Im worried because it seems impossible to predict from person to person. Any advice/guidance would be so appreciated! thanks
