I can't help you out with the poll. Cuz I have only done depo and the pill. Depo gave me bad migraines, cramps, and weight gain. I'm sure the pill has caused me to gain some weight, but nothing excessive. I'm going to say it's prob diff for everyone. Ur doc may have a better idea.

Natural family planning is a birth control method you didn't have listed on the the poll either. If you want to know more about it so you have more options and facts about your body and cycle, check out the natural family planning thead. It's way more effective that the friend of a friend of a friend told you it was (if you've ever heard it doesn't work, it's most likely because they weren't doing natural family planning, they were just guessing).

There are several women on this board that use it, so feel free to ask q's.

Blood Clots...
The pill gave me a lot of blood clots (in the next period I had) and got me scared. I had a baby 6 mos ago and I am thinking about iud, its hormone free which mean I wont gain weight or have the bad side afects. Confused

The depo works best for me - no side effects, it's quick and easy and importantly, very reliable. It depends on the person though - i'd talk it over with your doctor.
