Questions About Birth Control - Plano,TX

I use and prefer the Depo shot. I was on it while my husband was in the Air Force and then got off of it when we moved. My dr put me back on it after I had our daughter and I have been on it now since Oct 2006. I personally enjoy not having a period. The only issues I have are some spotting around the end of the shot. I also not enjoy not having cramps or any of the month emotional issues. Cost wise, I only pay my co-pay to go get the shot every 3 months.

i have the same question 4 months ago i think the pill works good my periods was usually 7 days now are 3 days and consider nuva ring i think is much easier just insert it and forget it for 3 weeks i did't do it because the cost is the double than the pills.

I was on Depo for about 8 years and just recently got off. I loved it... no period (except spotting every 3rd month when it was time for the shot again). I didn't gain any weight and really felt good on it. Now that I have been off for about 6 months I have gained a lot of weight and hate having a period. I just hope i get pregnant soon so I can get back on it :)

i gained alot of weight on depo. no periods at all while on it. then when i got off of it, still no periods. just a bad experience. i prefer the pill.

I love love love the ring! Except for being pregnant and while nursing, I have been on it for years and am back on it now. It's the easiest thing and you don't have to worry about it at all. I don't notice it up there, nor does my husband. ;) While I, too, thought that having to take it out every 3 weeks seemed odd, it's really not bad. You get use to it and it's not painful or anything like that. I have several friends that feel the same way. I have had no side effects with it, no weight gain, nothing. It has helped my skin, cramps, and my periods are fairly light and short. For me, it's a great option and it seems to agree with my body. I rely recommend it. Good luck!

I was on the same pill you use to be but I had major complications... So I got the Mirena... You said it is expensive? My insurance covered everything except the deductable. Have you asked your ins?
