What's the birth control method that you are using? What made you decide to use that method and does it have any negative effects?
I use Gynera Contraceptive Pills. It has low estrogen content which they say is better than high-estrogen containing ones which makes you more prone to cancer.
How about you?

Im on the Depo shot. Its the best thing for me. I dont have my periods, I dont have to worry about taking a pill everyday, I dont have vicious mood swings. Its just right :)

Oh, you mean you don't have your monthly period at all? Isn't that kinda dangerous? I'll definitely look it up. Thank's.

Some women still get thier periods when they are on the shot, and some dont. For me, thats the reason I choose the shot. They are a huge pain, literally. And it can be dangerous for prolonged periods of time. If you are on it for 3 years or more, it can take a longer time for your fertility to come back.
Thanks.

Hi there! Thank you very much for your response. I guess I'll have to look more into taking contraceptive pills. One of my purposes for starting this discussion is also to find an alternative. Thank you for the information.
