Birth Control - Depo?

I'm going to the ob/gyn for the first time this week to be put on birth control. Not only am I freaked out roughly speaking my first gyno visit ever, I'm still unsure of what birth control I want. My mom other got the depo shot and said she undeniably loved it and never had a problem, but I've hear bad things. Any suggestions?

Holy cow, do not do the Depo shot! I gain 35lbs. in 2 months on that stupid entry. A better choice may be a low dose pill. Try Loestrin 24 FE, it's a low enough dose of horomones to keep hold of the weight gain at a minimum but it does what it wishes to do. By the way, the gyno visit are not as bad as they seem to be, I promise.

Can you eat earlier and ultrasound? Its a prenatal one, and the tech didn't say anything give or take a few eating.?

I be on the depo for quite some time and never have any problems with it. It be VERY effective for me. There is clean research that shows it causes chief bone loss and women to get osteoporosis (sp) closer, so you will probably need to bring a calcium supplement with it. I wouldnt recommend the pills for a first timer because sometimes they are concrete to keep up near. And the more errors the user makes, the more uneffective they are. I dont have a sneaking suspicion that you can get an IUD unless youve have a kid already. I have also used the patch, which be ok but it left sticky results on my butt where i have it stuck. I have also hear some women gain a lot of consignment on the depo, but if your mom didnt you probably will not either. My sister or myself did not gain consignment on it. The depo is good because its charge free. You get the shot, consequently youre good for 3 months. No pills, patch or rings to worry roughly screwing up.

I am 40. My concluding period be Aug. 16 but still wipe dark brown after peeing. is nearby a reason for concern?

I also used depo and loved it..I didn't enjoy any problems with it whatsoever, didn't own my period at adjectives, and never gained counterweight.

If your mom had alot of luck next to it you should choose what she has used. Your genetic label up will be very similar to hers which medium there is a big chance your body will take action the same..

It really is nice to solely have to draw from a shot every three months and never have to verbs about making sure you bear a pill everyday and you don't have to verbs about missing a dose.

Question for you women out within (embarrassing)?

Well first, don't be too freaked about the visit-it's not that discouraging. Birth control is a very personal result. There are a lot of things to dream up about similar to is there a generic, how commonly will I have to whip it and if you have any other meds or conditions that might interact near the bc. I personally love the pill, I started when I be pretty young and within nine years have individual missed 4 pills...but that is my character. If taking a pill at the same time every year is too much to remember or too big of a bother you might try the patch. The patch is just once a week and one week bad. There is also nuva ring, a once a month intravaginal ring. If you think you want depo, you can donate it a try. I have never enjoy only have one friend try it and she didn't care for it (said it made her have a feeling like she required to vomit every day). Every person have different metabolism and absorption of drugs so you should distribute it a try if you only want to muse about it every 3 months. Also merely because you start one this week doesn't mean you are tied down to it...it is usual for women to have to try a few products formerly they find one that works for them. Keep in mind all bc have side effects and you will have to converse to your doc if you take meds or own any current conditions. Good luck and don't worry roughly speaking the actual visit.
