I wouldn't recommend depo but that's just me. It made me gain a lot of weight and made me bleed 6 months straight. I've heard good things about the kid and mirena. I haven't used either but my friends and family have all told me good things about them. I stick to the pill.. seems to work best for me.

If you go on the pill you should use condoms for the first month until it is completely in your system and working. As long as you take it on time every day without skipping them then it works really good. You just have to be able to take it on time every day

That's the iud. Two of my cousins have that in their arm and it works as soon as they put it in. Neither of my cousins have had any issues with it at all

I took the birth control Apri for four years and stopped once I got married. It took me one year to get pregnant even when he ejaculated in me, but after that year I got pregnant quick as hell.

Why not try the implant in the arm? That's what my mom and sister got and they haven't faced the effects of the depo or had to worry about taking a pill everyday.

If you reacted that way to the depo you might have the same symptoms with the arm implant. I had that before I got pregnant and had my period for four months straight. Ended up having to get it taken out

I got the mirena iud right after i had my first and had a lot of probs with it...it went to far into my uterus and gave me the same effect as having sex too soon after birth and always poked my husbands man part becuz of the wirey things even after i got them trimmed three times. I like the pill set an alarm on your phone...my friend really liked the one in the arm im going for the permanent fix this time but just figured i would throw that out there

The depo is AMAZING in my eyes no complications. Worked within 5  days for me. And my side effects was just mood swings. I had weight loss since I've  been on it. And today would be month #4 for me and i wouldn't change birth control at all.

I had a friend who did the depo and she gain a lot of weight and when she did bleed she would bleed sometimes for almost a month straight with heavy bleeding. I did the pill where I got a period every 3 months and when I got my period it was like a normal period not heavy nor long or anything.
