Please drop birth control recs/experiences. I’m an athlete and I’m worried about performance and muscle loss. Also about money, is it worth it?

Nexplanon made me feel like I was going insane. Copper IUD is non-hormonal so it won’t mess with your muscle/weight/mood etc. I’ve had it for several years and no issues with it at all.

I used lutera and I’ve liked it so far. The only downsides are lots of night sweats and appetite fluctuations.

Also on the copper IUD hype train it makes your periods a little heavier/more intense but like, it’s super effective and you never have to worry about it for 10 years! Highly reccomend!!
