Birth control recommendations?!
Question:
Birth control recommendations?
I have been using Depo for the last few years. I have been steadily gaining weight ever since. Could anyone tell me about any forms of birth control that were easy to use but did not cause significant weight gain? Thanks!
Answers:
I use the Ortho Evra patch. It's easier than the pill because it's once per week, and in my opinion better than the pill. I had more side effects with the pill and none with the patch.
One drawback is expense, but I would not use a generic birth control. According to my doctor, generic medications in general can contain less active medication than name brand. For birth control, that could be a disaster!
Talk to your doctor about your options, every body is different. Try one and if it doesn't work, try another. Good luck!
