So I have been on the Depo for about 5-6 years and I have finally made the decision to come off it. I have experienced a loss of interest in sex and have just generally felt very flat. I am also starting to think about planning a family so would like to come off of it to avoid any fertility issues and such when the time comes.

But

I do need a form of birth control for the mean time and am considering an IUD. I have an appointment with my doctor in the next few days and would like to organise this then as I’m going overseas for a week next week.

What experiences have people had coming off the Depo to an IUD? Have you experienced bleeding(I haven’t had my period in 6years lol) or any cramping? Weight gain? I would ideally be getting the one that doesn’t contain hormones.
