birth control
"Pros: effective, worry free birth control that I didn't have to think about from month to month. Having non-hormonal birth control is very important to me. 

Cons: Everyone's body is different, some people love this birth control. My experience, for the entire year I had it was miserable. Horrible, consistent cramps for the first three months. I had to call out of work a few times because I could barely stand. Once that subsided, my monthly cramps were miserable. My cycle(which was never too much trouble in the past) was a week of crazy hormones, followed by a week of bleeding and cramps that would keep me up at night, and then a week of cramps post bleeding. I literally had a week of feeling normal.
Also, extreme fatigue. I was miserable."
