I have not personally gone on depo. I almost did, until I watched the video of side effects. No thanks. Now, a very few, very few lucky women have no side effects and no period, but im not that lucky.
As for the girls who the pill did not work for, there are several pills with different hormonal levels that should work for you. You just have to get on the right one.
As for the patch, I hated it!!!!!I was only on it for one month and then I went right back on the pill. Plus, there is only one patch and that has the same hormones as ortho try cyclen. And if you can take that pill, then o.K. But if your body needs different hormonal levels (which mine does) then it wouldn't work for you.
But, a lot of women like the patch. It is definately worth trying, I guess. I have other pills that I have to take everyday, so remembering b/c is no problem for me! Hope this helped, at least a little!

I don't mind the shot. I have been on it for 4 months. I spotted for 2 weeks after my second shot and it stopped, but after I quit spotting I have been having a clear discharge everyday and that can get quite annoying.
