That helps me out a lot. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. The pill has been making me feel so sad and it isn’t been a good switch like I thought I would be. I got it out after four years because of hormonal acne, but I still break out on the pill. Grant it, it has only been a month. I regret getting the iud out because the insertion pain was the worst, but if the injection made it easier for you, I trust that.

The current place I go to is Philadelphia Women’s Health and Wellness center. They told me they could do the lidocaine injection but do not usually recommend it because of how painful it is. I had an IUD inserted before and it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt, other than my appendix about to rupture. Thank you for sharing that because I was afraid of the injection after the provider told me how painful it was.

I got the IUD and got it removed and went back to the pill because of hormonal acne. The IUD insertion was hell but it made me feel fine mentally. The pill hasn’t been great for my mental health. For some reason the arm implant scares me! Was the local anesthetic a cream? Has the implant moved at all, and how has it been on your mental health and skin? I know every woman is different
