And there have been some follow up studies on the arm implant that show it may not be as safe/side effect free as it claims, especially for those with PMOS (PCOS), and, as in your case,side effects tend to get more common the longer you have one.
Thanks! And yeah, the doctors (had to see two before getting the damn stick out!) both told me that yeah, it’s normal for it to get worse since it has been the 2 years. Not many do the full 3 years… I think most side effects are not taken seriously, no matter what the method for birth control is.
You know that joke about the patient who goes to the doctor and says “it hurts when I do this!” and the doctor says “well just don’t do that. That’ll be $800”
I know for a fact (because I’ve made some unpleasant acquaintance) that there are doctors who won’t prescribe birth control because you can just not fuck, right?
i have a rather shit opinion of the medical profession, but it’s just because i tried to educate them. when you forget basic anatomy by the end of medical school (which about 80% of US doctors end up forgetting) maybe you are in the wrong profession

I haven’t, yet, heard any doc like that but sounds very possible - depending the country. I get told I’m being “in danger” for using condoms.
I have been involved in medical education since the 90s. I have met exactly 7 doctors who are not like that. The rest? yeah.
Ouch.
