More Bc Questions (see "when Should I Start Birth Contr

Hello everyone! In my quest to find a good birth control method before I get married in 7 months i've found a lot of things to consider. I'm in my early 20s and in good health. We don't plan on having children for a few years. I have researched some bc pills, as well as the shot, the patch, and the ring. (sounds like a really bad movie trilogy, eh?) i've heard bad things about the patch, so i'm leaning away from that. I'd like to take the pill because I have heavy, painful periods and i'd just love to regulate them. But i've had problems with depression in the past and i'm nervous that the hormones in some pills may give me problems again. Any thoughts? What about iuds? I read about them on a birth control website and almost fainted just from reading about the insertion procedure! But really....Would that be at all ideal for me? Another question: why were contraceptive sponges taken off the market in the us? I know you can still get them in canada. Are they very reliable? Or should I stay away from that idea too? Actually i'm looking for input on any form of reversible birth control. Any help would be appreciated.
