Does anyone use the patch, depo shot or progesterone cream?

Question

If so, how does it impact your eating habits? 
Do you get cravings often still, do you have a better appetite, are you more able to control what you eat compared to without birth control? 
I’m asking because I am very interested in starting birth control if it means my appetite will become more under control, but the last thing I want is to gain weight. 
What are your thoughts?

Answer

I was on Depo shot for 2 years. I gained over 50 pounds. it increases ytour food cravings. I got off I went from being normal weight to overly obese and possibly having to take high cholesterol pills. I changed to the Ortho Evera Patch. I worked out, ate healthy, and lost over 40 pounds. I love it. I've missed a day and put it on and I'll be fine. Easy routine. I have a normal period a month. When I did the shot and patch the first month or two I had sore breast ad a side effect with headaches, but it should go away within 3 months. That's normal.

Answer

what's the progesterone cream? I've never heard of it

Answer

Depo shot was awful, had me gaining 60 pounds in about 2 or 3 months and would've kept going if I hadn't gotten off of it. Thought I would be okay since I was losing weight on the pill but I was so wrong 😰 as for the patch its been my favorite, essentially no side effects, maybe a few while your body gets used to it but for me it didn't make me gain anymore weight at all, and my eating went back to normal.
