Which of these is better?

Question

I wanted to try either these two. Currently on condom and pullout method. Implant and IUD are out of the question for now because its very costly around here. I've read a lot about side effects of these two; hormonal change, weight gain etc. 
But which of these two is better (or slightly better) than the other in terms of less side effects? Thanks in advance!

Answer

Depo was terrible for me, I'm terrible at taking pills, IUD and implants freaked me out, the patch was the best thing ever for me 😁 super easy to use, only have to remember to change it once a week, and didn't cause me many side effects at all

Answer

I love the depo, however i dont think its for everyone cause its a lot more hormones. It works great for me because i have a hormone imbalance already. No side effects! Other people i would recommend the pill or Nuvaring. The only thing with the pill is it HAS to be taken the same time every single day and people tend to forget that.

Answer

I liked the pill because it gave me more control. If I didn't like it I could just stop taking it. Didnt require going to the doctor for insertion and/or removal. Plus there are so many different pills.

Answer

i always equate depo to a giant hormone bomb. its the highest hormone dosage of them all which means most side effects. i lost weight, had no apettite, had constant headaches, nauseous all the time, crying all the time, horrible pain issues and feeling sick. depo was horrible to my body. the pill was way more manageable. i am not on anything at the moment though bc i needed a break from it all

Answer

Depo/nexplanon have been linked to infertility and extreme weight gain. the pill  can take a while to regulate after usage but overall less side effects than depo/nexplanon.

Answer

I personally do not take pills & never want to so I got on the Depo & I do not recommend it for anyone . Granted I am only 18 but I weighed 120pounds and after the drop I went to 185 pounds in just 3 months of having it. Your safest is the pill however I have the Mirena IUD now & love it .

Answer

I have the implant (which I LOVE) and I got over the side effects rather quickly. I wouldn't ever get the depo shot even if my life depended on it. My OBGYN told me that most patients who get the shot have to take calcium supplements with it because there's something in the shot that can weaken your bones. Also, my aunt conceived all 3 of my cousins while on depo.
