Depo Pros and Cons?

Question

Thinking about switching from the pills. Just because I don't want kids doesn't mean I want to have a period all the fucking time 😡😡 so can somebody can tell me how the Depo is?

Answer

I've never heard a single good thing about the depo. 
I know many women who have had problems getting pregnant after getting off of it as well.

Answer

Liked drop. No period no weight gain. Only stopped because I lost my sex drive

Answer

No periods, no weight gain and no real side affects. However turning up to al the appointments is a must!

Answer

For me Depo waa the devil.. but i have heard other people who wouldnt go any other way. After 9 months of bleeding.. terrible depression.. becoming anemic..  and just a horrible time of it I came off it and was back to feeling great in a couple months.  I think if you want to try it.. try it... if it works well for you then thats great and if not then try something different.

Answer

Depo was hell for me as well. I bled for 6 months straight, became vitamin D deficient and also had alarmingly low levels of iron. Switched to the ring, it's been going great so far and some girls leave theirs in all 4 weeks to skip a period of that's what you're looking for :)
