I'm searching for a good birth control method to use. I have taken Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and Depro Vera before, and would not be incredubly unwilling to try them again. The problem is that I have a very hard time remembering the pill each day, and I have heard bad things about the shot. Such as: weight gain, increase in discharge... and I find it hard to believe that it is healthy to go through your life without having your period.
I know that this should be a question for my gynocologist, but I could not get an appointment for another month or so. I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on a good method of birth control. Perhaps some good and bad experiences you have had?
Of course, older columnists prefered. (link)

Well, in my own personal experience, i am now on the shot (after having my 2nd little girl) and i will tell you i am bad with pills, and a girl i knew,was on the patch and she just delivered her 3rd boy, the patch does NOT work, the shot, i have not gained weight and it is perfectly normal not to get your period, you see when you get your period, you are letting eggs go (so to say) the shot prevents you from producing eggs, therefore no reason to get your period, i have asked all these questions when i got on it, it is safer than the patch and good for those who can't take pills. And to be honest, when i got on it i was about 180 lbs. i started working out for 20 min. a day, tredmil, bike, stair master, and i am down to 140lbs. i like the shot, and i don't need a 3rd just yet, so i think it is good, plus, what girl really WANTS their period?

I'm still a bit hesitant about the shot. I read something about how it basically stops fluids and stuff from flowing out of you. Not just stopping your egg, but stopping everything else too. I don't like the idea of having everything stuck up inside me without being 'cleaned out' once a month. But, I see my doctor tomorrow so I can get these things cleared up.
