Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 These are good honest questions. There are so many different methods of contraception out there (I work for Planned Parenthood). There are patches that you don't have to think about, shots that you get every 3 months, etc. I would talk to your obstetrican or go to a local Planned Parenthood (you can get numbers at www.ppfa.org). Personally, we use condoms--I don't want to go back on the pill either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 I personally was on the depo shot and it worked great for me. There is the side affect of weight gain or the inability to lose unwanted weight and some hair loss, but other than that, you get it once everythree months and that's it.
