Depo is a BLESSING! I am unable to take birth control pills (plus I'd always forget to take 'em here or there) and I have a latex allergy, so condoms aren't for us. Depo is great; it allows me to concentrate on everyday life for 3 whole months at a time and only 4 shots a year. The first month or two is quirky, up & down with spotting, bleeding, emotions.... BUT it regulates! What birth control doesn't take some getting used to? It's wonderful though; I have two planned children, and no periods with Depo! Able to take the shot for years, come off & get pregnant within months, and go back on while nursing the baby. Give it a try! Oh, and it seems to keep my weight down too!
