Which method would be best for period control ONLY?
I am (hopefully) getting a bisalp this year, but will need to stay on birth control for period control. Basically my ibs is unmanageable during my period, so I skip as many as my body will allow to experience that as little as possible.
I’ve been on the pill for 10 years, I’m good at taking it, have no side effects that I know of (except possibly weight retention), and frankly I’m scared to go off of it, as I have no idea how my body will react.
At the same time, I want to know if some of my many medical issues (hypothyroidism, bad ibs, vertigo, obesity) would be easier managed without having the pill on top of it.
I also fear potential side effects of other methods - particularly cystic acne (been there done that - ow!!), off cycle heavy bleeding, and I’d really not do well with any gastro side effects. My doc did offer iud insertion while I’m already out for surgery.
So basically I fear the unknown & would love any input on whether another method would be worth the risk to avoid having every period or should I stick with what I know? TIA!
