A member asked:
My dr suggested i use estrogen-free birth control, due to my age and weight. so, i got nexplanon & i hate it. what are my options that isn't mirena (levonorgestrel)?

Several options: Need to discuss what you don't like about the Nexplanon with your doctor. Other estrogen-free options include the Mirena, (levonorgestrel) Liletta, and Copper IUDs, the progesterone only pill, DepoProvera, tubal ligation, and condoms.
