    I love being on Depo. I was on patches for a year and had really bad mood swings and was depressed. I switched to Depo and loving it.

    I'm on the best control ever!!

    No sex!! :bigsmile:

    Then again, it really only works if your single!! Which I have been for the last 10 yrs.. Heading into the change, so looks like I'll be ok..

    Would hate to have to think about all that again.. Then again - not looking forward to the change either!! :laugh:

    ok ladies, i have to share, for those of you who are done with kids, or dont want kids, i did ESSURE. the best thing i ever did. i had it done in the doctors office, insurance covered it and took about 15 minutes. they implant a little plug the same exact procedure that is done for some heart patients with the same material. it plugs the fallopian tubes and over a few weeks tissue grows over it and wallah!! NO EGGS commin through. No hormones, no pill, no side effects. I had to go in a few weeks later for a ex-ray to make sure everything was closed up that hurt , but other than that best thing i did.

    I did the same thing! I don't know really anyone else that has done this so it was nice to hear this! It's really nice not having to worry about swallowing a pill or if something is placed correctly. I've had mine for about 2 years now and I couldn't be happier!

    I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago....BEST thing I have ever done. Of course, I was done having kids and was having complications, so it was medically necessary, but NO PERIODS for the last 3 years...and I'm only 36! :bigsmile:

    I was on the depo for 3 years.. Best 3 years of my life. I switched the the implanon because I THOUGHT it made me gain a ton of weight, but it didn't at all.

    Good luck finding something that makes you feel alright!

    I'm on Depo now (love it) but I think it's made me gain a good amount of weight. I'm thinking of switching to Implanon - is it alot like depo as far as side effects? Have you lost/gained any weight on it?
