Question

Answer

Literally anything but the depo

Answer

Depo made me incredible depressed and made me bleed for 5 months straight. I went through two rounds of the shot and hated every second of it. But on the other hand my friend loved the depo. It stopped her period completely and she didn’t have any problems with her mental health. It all really depends on the person and how they react to the hormones but you never know unless you try it. Now I have the Paraguard iud because it’s hormone free and even though my periods are heavier, longer, and more cramps, I love it because I still feel like myself without all the hormones.

Answer

I've gotten my first depo on the first of Feb n all I can say is it didn't work for me same a iud, pill n mini pill they all made me bleed n depo is doing the same thing so yea pick what u think is right but I say try the iud if the others nothing else works not depo...

Answer

I’m honestly so shocked to see so many hate the depo. It’s been great for me! I have no bleeding, cramping, mood swings, bloating. It’s been really really great for me. I had an IUD before this and let me tell you, it was from hell. I had the copper one, and I bled for two weeks straight, it was so heavy. I had headaches literally everyday for the five months I kept it. My cramps were so bad and I’m not one to typically cramp badly. To each their own though! It’s just the type of thing that you have to try out and see what works. But I’ve done two rounds of depo (so I’ve been on it 6 months) and it’s a godsend.

Answer

I say the pill 💊

Answer

Depo was awful. Had one shot and never made the follow up shot. The IUD gave me an imbalance in my vagina so I had constant problems. Just make sure you trust your gut when you go for your appointment and ask lots of questions.
