For me, still pretty good. Orgasming is fun, but, there's a really rewarding satisfaction for me in having my partner get off through intercourse that's pretty on par for me.
I started on the pill when I was about 13-14 to control the symptoms of my period. I would have to take a week off school every month as it felt like my insides were being scraped out with a dull, rusted razor, and my flow was crazy heavy. It made things manageable, but I was still having to take a few days off, and I'd get breakthrough bleeds regularly. My doctor later swapped me to another pill, which had much higher doses of hormones, which worked a whole lot better and now my period was more an minor inconvenience and not me in excruciating pain.
Side effects wise on the pill, honestly, the benefits so greatly outweighed the downsides for me, I can't remember anything specific. I mostly just ended up wanting a 'set and forget' style of birth control (I'm pretty absent-minded tbh, so my consistency on taking it when I wasn't actually active was not always the best. If I forgot it in the morning I'd already be bleeding by the evening too so, I didn't have a big window for leeway) so, I ended up trying that arm implant.
For me the implant was terrible, I bled -constantly-. I gave it a red hot go for a few months, hoping it was just my body adjusting to the new cocktail and it would settle in, but, it never did. I had it removed in the end, and went back to taking my old pill.
Now my eggs are more fried than your Sunday morning bacon and eggs, every doctor has pretty much written me off as infertile, and I have like, one period a year so I don't use any hormonal contraception, because fuck periods lol
