Comparing Femynor vs ParaGard

For Birth Control: I started on trinessa in high school and had never had acne before, that is when I developed some break outs occasionally. About a year ago I was switched to Tri femynor (thanks to my insurance dropping trinessa) and I have slowly developed feelings of anxiety/depression. I handle stress so much worse than ever before and my acne has sky rocketed. In the last 3 months it has been unbearable. Everyone is different and I believe the dosage between trinessa and tribal femynor is the same (both norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol) so I do not see why I would see this drastic changes. I have never had feelings of severe depression/anxiety before and I am definitely not easily worked up. Just wish I would have been able to talk to my doctor about it before the switch occurred or talk about other options. If your pharmacy is switching you out of the blue I would recommend sitting down with your doctor first so you feel most comfortable and informed about what is going into your body!

For Birth Control: Thankfully everyone else on here has been recently sharing a same experience as I have with Tri Femynor. I was on June fe before and everything was fine, but then my doctor switched me to Tri Femynor to help with acne and my acne has never been worse in my life. Been on the pill for 8 months now and I break out nearly every day. I also follow a strict diet and eat very clean because of my type 1 diabetes, but I randomly gained 15 pounds over the past couple months as well. I am definitely switching back to a lighter pill.

For Birth Control: I had the ParaGard for 2 years before finally deciding to get it removed. I started to get really stubborn BV which I have never had before. I also began to experience a really bad foul smell down there. I think it had to do with the copper material mixing with my bodily fluids which resulted in a strong, foul, iron smell. It made me feel really insecure and I had a strong feeling it was due to my IUD. Once I got it removed, days later I noticed a HUGE difference in odor. It is almost nonexistent now and I couldn't be happier. It is effective in preventing pregnancy but at the expense of having so many other negative side effects. Everyone is different so if you're interested I would try it but beware of possible side effects.

For Birth Control: I had the copper IUD 9 months. Overall its a good form of birth control. However I got it removed because I think it led to horrible periods, not only more blood but also longer periods, up to 10 days, PMS depression and hormone related conditions. My hair also started falling out after 7 months, may be due to anemia caused by blood loss. I think it's not wise to leave it in too long.
