Hormonal Birth control/ weight gain and other symptoms... What's your experience?

I just had my 2nd nexplanon removed after it expired.
I have 3 children. Turning 30 in September. I can't bring myself to say I'm done. But I can't bring myself to get pregnant. Lol
I was given sprintec pills but I was thinking of trying natural or non hormonal methods  birth control. Tracking, condoms, etc.
I have been on hormonal birth control pretty much since I was 17. I can't loose weight very easily. The last year has left me with greasy, and yet somehow brittle hair. Horrid acne.
Heavy periods, and extra weight.
My doctor shrugged me off when I mentioned being concerned with weight gain. Saying it's not that common.

I would like to know, What is your experience with implants, pills etc?
