So what do u ladies recoommend.? And what are the side effects iwas thnkng of getting depo but not sure?!

Ive tried almost every birth control. I was on the pill ortho tri lo when I got pregnant at 17 and never missed a day but to be honest I wasn't the best about taking it the same time every day. After my first kid I got the Mirena iud and had it removed finally after two years of problems. It caused pain, bleeding, discomfort, I had to have the wires trimmed multiple times, and eventually became pregnant and had a miscarriage. After that I finally got it removed. But I do know a lot of people who have Mirena and love it so im sort of a special case. I have never had the iud that goes in the arm but my ob spoke very poorly of it and actually will not offer it in her office because of all the problems she said it causes. I tried the nuva ring for a month and actually liked it but my husband didnt like that he could feel it during sex so I didnt stay on it. I did the deposit shot once for the three month trial and did not like the side affects at all. Its not that it makes you gain weight it just makes you really hungry all the time like you cant get full. If you dont watch your intake you can gain a lot of weight. I also just felt sick and sluggish and didnt have a period the whole time I was on it. Finally went back to the pill(but a different kind) and liked it. I wasn't on any birth control this time when I got pregnant. Also keep in mind that if you are breast feeding that there are several different birth controls that you cant take because it will dry up your breast milk

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.

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.
