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.

When I was 15 i went on the pill and, like you, i couldn't remember to take it each day. It was such a hassle. When i turned 16 i decided to go on Depo-Porvera and i've been on it for the past 3 years.

I personaly love it and find no disadvantages at all. I had gained about 1O lbs since then (in 3 years) but by dieting and excercising i lost about 7 pounds. I haven't had an increase in discharge either. I really haven't had a bad experience w/ it.

I also have faith that it's completely healthy. I mean...if not...why would so many people use it? Like, nothing pills up in there because you just don't ovulate. It's just kind of like you're body is on PAUSE and then once you get off of it it'll get back into motion.

I always recommend depo-provera to anyone who asks because it's a really good method of birth control and what's better than not getting your period?

Hope i helped and if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

(Rating: 4) A hell o f a lot of people smoke, does that mean it's perfectly healthy? Your reasoning does not work.

I give you a four only because you know how to spell and form sentences and paragraphs.
