Comparing Depo-Provera vs Sprintec

For Birth Control Honestly, I expected a lot worse with this shot. It’s pretty convenient. I understand a lot of people hate taking hormones and it doesn’t work well for them, but I’ve actually had an okay experience. No cramping AT ALL. For the first few shots I bled for weeks at a time but it was so light I didn’t need a pad. Now I have no periods. No mood swings either. My only complaint is odd joint pain every so often and I’ve gained 20 pounds since starting the shot! But honestly, Depo does what it is supposed to do.

For Birth Control Used the shot for 6 months. The shot stopped my period completely and gave me severe acne on my face, chest , shoulders and back. But it did the job. I have to remove my IUD next month but I wouldn’t go back to the shot.

For Birth Control I've been on this pill since I was thirteen (21 now) due to an incredibly irregular cycle. It worked great, I didn't have many side effects, and it did what it was suppose to. I've always taken it at the same time every morning BUT it failed me and I am now nine weeks pregnant with my first child. Overall: effective in regulating my cycle with little to no side effects, not effective in preventing pregnancy.

For Birth Control I'm almost finished with my first month and I can already tell a difference in my skin. However, I want to have sex constantly and I eat everything in sight.
