I was on depo until about 3 months ago. It caused lots of side effects which have really put me off hormonal contraceptives.
My periods stopped whilst taking it and I had a bleed a couple of weeks ago but it was a really light bleed. I was so worried I was pregnant as it's the last thing I want right now. I am 43 by the way. Pregnancy test was negative but it was a wake up call to sort out some other contraceptive.
I hardly have sex with my DH now but he has never taken responsibility for these things. Ideally he would wear a condom.
Any ideas on alternatives?
Mirena coil is out for me as it was so painful with horrible heavy periods.
