Birthcontrol??

whats the best and most effective birth control??
I was kinda going with depo.. but I hear you gain weight.?
what birth control makes you lose weight?
or at least stay the same?

DO NOT DO DEPO Igained 18 pounds because of that and it made me terible eritable and I was alway mean I am now on yaz and I love it you do have to remember o take it every day but yaz is great I am back down to my normal weight it doesnt necesarly make you lose weight just doesnt make you gain andit helps wth cramps and backpain when I was on depo I had a damn period for three months it sucked I was on it for about a year and a half

wow thank you!! lol thats enough to convince me not to do depo!
my mom said it was most effective. and she doesnt want me taking the pill b/c if I forget, it doesnt work.. but whatev im old enoough to do what I want with my body and I want whats best all around, and I especially dont want to gain 20 pounds!!!
that would probably make me cry for sure.

does anyone know of effective shots to take??

some birth control pills make you gain weight, none I've heard of make you lose it, but if you talk to your doctor, she WILL give you the ones that don't effect weight.
the birth control pill is 99% protection if taken everyday, and the only thing better than 99% is 100%, and the only way to achieve that is abstinence, soo...
If you want to be super careful, go on the pill and use a condom. hahaha.
Taking the pill isn't honestly that hard to remember to do. Just tell your mom that you'll put an alarm on your phone until it becomes part of your routine. And make sure you do it around the same time everyday, like when you're brushing your teeth or right after dinner- its easier to remember that way.

thanks and thats what I told her. im just trying to explore my options before I start trusting some artificial method.I want to feel 100% positive when when I decide which birth control to start.

I'm on seasonel birth control I looove it 4 periods a year you take it for 3 months then you have one it's my best friend.

is it the pill? and are you sexually active?

I was on depo and loved it gain about 10 pounds, started soccer season and lost most of it, I liked depo because I new I was protected and I could have sex w/ no condom whenever and never had to worry, I also never had a period while on..

was it an obvious 10 pounds cause I really couldn gain more im barely happy the way I am!

it depends on you. people have different experiences with different froms of birth control. im on the pill and its fine for me. I will admit I've forgoten to take it about 4/5 times but mine if you take it the next day then it doesnt make a difference. the best bet is togo to the local family palnning clinic were they'll find something that suits you.

what works for one could not work for the other. its all about prefernce
