I'm 26 and have had a lot of problems with birth control. I had been taking the pill since i was 15, but since I have been having rough migraines, doctor told me she wouldnt prescribe those anymore, because it would be dangerous for my health (as well as the ring and patches- according to her the medicinal components are pretty much the same, and could cause the same problems) I've been taking the depo shot, and i've been on it for almost 6 months and wondering if i should get it again (i've had spotting for the entire time, loss of libido, augmentation of stress and i gained almost 10 pounds) the doctor told me the bleeding should stop after the 3rd shot... otherwise she could prescribe IUD like mirena, but i've heard such scary stories about it i'm not sure i'm comfortable with it... did anyone ever have these problems? and if so is there anything that worked?
