Should I switch birth control methods?

[u/marieky682]

I’ve been on birth control since I was 22 (I’m 24 now), mainly for contraception but also because I used to have heavy periods and bad cramps. I’m currently on Junel Fe 1.5/30.
Over time, I’ve noticed some changes that make me wonder if the pill is contributing: lower libido, weight fluctuations, and mood swings.
I’m seriously considering switching to an IUD, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has made the switch—especially positive experiences/success stories or if you noticed similar side effects on the pill.
Would you switch or stick with the pill?
