I was on Depo for about a total of 4 years. The first 3 years I didn't gain any weight and had no side effects. I had a baby and then went back on Depo. This time I gain about 8 pounds and I always felt hungry. I decided to get Mirena IUD. I've had the IUD since Jan and I haven't had any problems with it (and I've lost the 8 pounds I gained).

stay away from the ortho evera patch that one has too many side effects . I had to get off of it due to those side effects.
ii have a friend who has the IUD that last for 5 years that one has very few side effects from what she told me.
also the nora implant one is suppose to be good as well.

I am a big supporter of Mirena IUD also. I started using it in October and not side effects at all and actually I have not had my period since November. According to my doctor that is common or yours can even become extremely light.

I was on Depo for 8-years and didn't gain much weight and LOVED that my periods stopped completely as well. I got off the Depo shot and was able to get pregnant within 8-months too. I prefered the one shot every three months method. Good luck!



There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one!

I was on depo in my 20's and when I turned 30. It can be a real headache getting prego after it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants kids in the next year, or for anyone over 30.

After I have my baby, I have no idea what I will do for b/c. i think my DH wants to get a vasectomy.

The Nuva ring works for me

The Nuva ring works for me as well. There is a timer that comes with it to remind you when to change it and my husband didn't "feel it" for the first 4 years I was on it. No side effects and no forgetting! It's great. And when you are off your off and will get pg!

Are you done with having children?? I'd recommend your husband/boyfriend take care of things from his end. That is no weight gain, pills, things to remember again...
