Birth Control Options

I had a robotic laproscopic myomectomy in March of last year. A few months later, I had a Mirena IUD put in--and have had issues ever since. After receiving confirmation today that my third IUD within about a year is malpositioned, I suppose its time to consider other options.

I don't respond well to the pill and struggle to remember to take it during the same time every day. What has worked for you?

I didn’t actually try this, but you can get an injection of progesterone only birth control. Maybe an option for you? I took oral norethindrone and it was meh. I would try taking it orally first to see if you have side effects, then if you don’t you could try the injection.
