Birth control, what’s your experience?

Hey girlies, I just wanted to come and vent because I know I’m crazy and I think my hormones are getting the best of me… I feel like I’ve been having soft baby fever. My ovulation is crazy before or after during it doesn’t matter. The father of my child has been asking me if I would consider birth control because it’s not like I’m trying to deliberately get pregnant, but I also wouldn’t be mad at the idea if that makes sense😅
Anyways, I feel completely scared of looking at all of the birth control. I used to be on the shot and then the one time I stopped taking it since I was 14 I almost made 12 months and then my baby daddy got me pregnant. And then for maybe almost a year they put a device in my arm that they eventually took out because they thought it was causing other medical symptoms and I wasn’t sexually active anyways they just wanted to do it just to do it if you know what I mean. But I’ve been looking over the Options down to the patch and I do currently suffer from chronic migraines, nausea and dizziness, and I’ve seen terrible reviews where people claim they’ve gotten blood clots and other variety of different symptoms. I feel like I wanted at least try it, but it seems so traumatizing and then on the other side I feel like every time I go to the clinic or the doctors office. Every other person I come into contact with tells me a story about how every other one of their kids they were on birth control.😭😭😭 I wouldn’t be mad if I ended up with A Child, but I don’t wanna have to go through having something like IUD or Nexplanon or vaginal ring, inserted and go through all of that to either end of pregnant anyways or something worse you know? Sometimes I hate being that 5% that always catches all the random symptoms and side effects.😩😩😩

I’m hoping somebody can ease my mind on their experience. The last thing I wanna do is the IUD or pills I hate having to swallow pills, but I’ve only ever done the shot and that was ages ago.
