Switching Birth Control methods
Hello i was thinking about switching from Yaz birth control pills to possibly the Depo shot. I dont want to have to worry about missing pills. I have read a little bit about the depo and the side effects seem worse than the pill. Weight gain, mood swings, periods sometimes lasting 3 weeks. Does anybody have experience with this. What method are you using that you like?
Thanks for the advice :)
I rate!

i was on the pill for about 6 months but it made my blood pressure stay around 140/90 so my doctor switched me to the depo shot and after i started it i never even had my period in the 6 months i was on it and i didnt gain weight but im only 17 so that may have something to do with it but i liked the shot more than the pill but it works differently on everyone

I have and IUD its called the mirena , it is just like a little t share piece of plastic and its really small . the only upkeep with it is you in for the one month after you have it put it and then you can keep it in for up to five years . i dont really get my periods and when i do its just a little bit of spotting. i like it and it works for me but everyone is different and you may have some side effects so you should for sure talk to you doc about it all. but i have already had a baby and i an pretty fertile and i havent got pregnant yet i've had it for almost two years. but a girl i knew she was on the depo shot and she got off of it about a year later and she tried to get pregnant and she couldn't for a while so it takes a good bit for you body to get cal to its recitlar cycle again. well good luck

A friend of mine used the depo shot for several years until she got of it and after her baby switched to the implant in the arm. She liked the depo shot until the very end when she gained a little weight but that was many years after using it.
