Seeking Advice on Birth Control for Endometriosis with ADHD

I recently got Nexplanon and it’s making me much more emotionally out of whack. I’m going to try to wait it out for 8 months. It made my period lighter but my usual symptoms were heightened and the ibuprofen didn’t do too much. But since this is my first ever birth control, I’m going to wait it out so I can get used to it. I chose it because I’m super forgetful. Do what you are comfortable with

I have a bad memory because of my adhd so I get the birth control shot and it works amazing! No adhd side effects.

I have an IUD inserted for my endo pain as pills just weren’t cutting it. I haven’t noticed anything different and I’m I medicated right now for my ADHD but trying to get something for it. Fourth time is the charm, right?

I have nexplanon and that works great for me! Another great method is the shot! IUDs, pills, and the other methods of birth control have been absolutely terrible for me personally (weight gain, breaking out, extreme mood swings, etc)

I take a birth control every morning every 3 months for 10 days due to PCOS and I am also on medicine for ADHD and I have never had any bad side affect and everything works out great

I had an IUD for 8 years until my husband and started trying for a kid. Hurts bad going in for a moment but I had no periods or period symptoms for 8 years. Before the IUD my periods would knock me out for days due to pain.

Personally, I was a big fan of nexplanon when I had it. The worst side effect I noticed was irregularity, and that didn't bother me too much. I also liked not needing to remember it.

I take hormonal birth control orally with my ADHD medicine every morning. I personally experienced mild headaches for the first week with an occasional loss of appetite around lunch time. I suggest considering an IUD first and formost, comparing the risks and rewards with hormonal birth control and other options. Besides the first few weeks, I only experience mild tiredness when I’m reaching the end of my medicine pack. It varies from person to person! I hope you find your solution safely and easily :)

I personally don’t believe in taking hormonal birth controls at all. Especially with ADHD and endometriosis. If you have IG, look up dr.jess.md. She specializes in these kind of cases and has been a tremendous help to me personally, I’m sure you can find some great resources on her website
