Which one do you use and why?

Question

I’m on depo (barely over a month) but the extended length of my period isn’t sitting well with me at all so I’m thinking of switching to a different method. Which methods do you use or have used and how does it work for you?

Answer

I was only on depo for about a year and it decreased my bone density so much I have permanent bruising in my ankle that I injured. You also can’t get that back once you turn 18. My sil was on it only 6 months and it took her two years to get pregnant with my niece. 
I’ve also tried the pill which doesn’t work as my body metabolized it too quickly so it was useless.
I then tried the nuvaring and loveddddd it but got off of it to give my body a break from fake hormones. 
I am due to start the patch in two weeks on the first day of my period. Supposedly it’s similar to the ring so I am expecting good things. The only reason I chose not to do the ring was because I am super sexually active and the ring would come out multiple times during sex or foreplay which got irritating but I barely ever had sex back then (2 years ago.)

Answer

I had the implannon in my arm for 3 yrs and it was bad, I bled through most of it off and on.  I had depo for like 1½ yrs and kept getting my normal periods then took a yr break from it and back again for another 1½ yrs. But the 2nd time no period at all.

Answer

I use the NuvaRing now and I hate it. I’m almost 34 and my body just doesn’t handle hormones like it used to. I had been using Mirena IUDs for the past 12 years but the hormonal symptoms just made me miserable so I switched to the paragard IUD in April this year. Unfortunately it slipped out of place sometime after my 4-week string check and I got pregnant (thankfully it was only a chemical) so back to hormones I go. I’ve been on the ring for less than a month and I’m already pissed 🤣

Answer

The implant it stops my period all together

Answer

i was on depo for about 7 months and it completely stopped my period. i ended up switching to the iud last month because the depo made me gain weight, so far i like the iud and haven’t gotten my period yet

Answer

I’ve used the patch, depo and now on the pill. Depo was my least favourite and made me bleed like crazy so thats why i only got one shot of it.

Answer

Mirena iud has stopped my heavy periods, i cant take estrogen, mini pills made periods heavier and i gained too much weight on depo. It was mirena or implant.
