I don’t want to crap on anyone’s choices, but I would add to research the side effects of implants compared to the ones for IUDs before making your decision. (Ideally find a gyno you can trust who will be able to explain pros and cons too.) I currently have a copper IUD and despite the insertion pain and some heavy periods for the first six months (I know, bummer), I’ve been really happy with it. No weird hormonal side effects, no effects on sex drive.

Definitely agree with researching side effects and talking to your gyno! I had no issues but that’s obviously not the case for everyone.
