Anyone on either of these birth control experienced vaginal dryness? if so, please tell your experience.

This side effect is seriously making me reconsider what it is I will be getting cause I mean… I’m planning on starting birth control to have more safe fun sex why would I willingly opt for potential dryness?!

I am already on opill and began looking at these options since they are all progestin only BC’s. my only side effects on opill are spotting before my period + it’s prolonged but w/ less intense cramps. I’m hoping i can experience something similar w/ these methods however i did not know vaginal dryness was a possibility

I am 19, newly sexually active, not prone to depression, not prone to acne, have regular and consistent periods, and am wondering if anyone w/ similar traits can tell me how nexplanon has affected them.
I am currently on opill but a new medicine i am starting will negatively affect the accuracy of it, so im looking for something new to try.

this community seems to fear monger this bc alot more than other bc communities so let me say this. alot of these side effects are preventable when taking the right precautions .

if you never really worked out or lived an active lifestyle with mindful eating b4 taking this bc, ofc you’re going to gain weight on depo cause you’re falling victim to your cravings daily for 3 months straight.

ofc you’re gonna (temporarily) lose bone density because you’ve never lifted a weight a day jn your life & the only time you engage in physical activity is during sex.

and if you’ve never had depression and aren’t prone to it, i doubt you’ll just randomly start having manic episodes and things of that nature.

if you’ve never done anything to intentionally maintain your body and your state of life as it is now, ofc something that greatly affects your body has the capacity to change how you function.

if anything, prior to starting bc is the perfect time to start practicing these things and claiming control over your body.

i feel like the ppl in here (and ppl in general) know this, that they never work out or have alr had depression, yet never mention that they’ve had it prior to this shot jst to fear monger and it’s becoming straight bs.

my partner has a well sized penis and when we have sex it feels like he’s really deep so i’m worried he’ll be able to feel the strings.
so for people who also have this kind of experience w their partners, have they ever felt or noticed the string?
this is very much abt my ego than it is worrying abt if it bothers him or not.
