I put on a tonne of weight with depo so would never touch it again. I also had friends who lost their sex drive and suffered from depression on it.

Trouble is that it's really difficult to keep up temping with babies/toddlers in the house. Gotta be really disciplined and remember to temp, and they can sometimes go awol from lack of sleep!


ETA: I'm actually mostly pro this option, don't wanna sound completely sour puss LOL!

True, BusyMum - You don't sound sourpuss at all, I'm afraid I don't know about the little one sleep-deprivation yet.

I've actually cheated and spent a small fortune on a little computer thing that tells me what to do! ie alarm goes off on it, take temp, and a light comes on telling me whether its safe or not. Green means GO!!! you're infertile, red means STOP!!! about to/actually ovulating, and yellow is learning, so be careful. When we are ready to start our family, BD on the red days instead! It was a major investment though, and although it should pay for itself over time (lasts over 10 years), it's not for everyone.

All the best deciding which contraception to use!
