Okay. Here's the history. I'm allergic to ALL forms of oral birth control. The nuva-ring and I didn't get along well, and I've been bleeding from it for the past 3 months. I would have stopped using it, but I liked the protection it gives me against pregnancy, even though my partner and I are avid condom users. Anyway, I'm down to almost nothing in the way of contraceptives.
I don't have a positive view on the depo shot, but it seems that's where I'm headed. I'm willing to try it for one month, and if it's terrible, than I just won't use it again.
But I'm worried about having an allergy to it, like it do to the pills. If I take the pills I develop Erythema Nodosum immediately and it takes forever to ago, let alone having a shot that doesn't expire for months, that would be BAD.
Anyway, any advice is nice to have. =)
ps. I'd talk to my doctor, but they're usually willing to only say good thing about medications, and never the bad. I'd rather get advice from PEOPLE. =)
