Yes, they do. I was on the ring through PP.

Today I got switched from Ortho Tri-cyclene to the Ortho Evra patch.
Anybody on the patch - Did you gain weight? Other side effects?

Just a question, why did you get off Ortho? I'm on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo now which is why I'm asking.

Decreased sex drive.
We can't live with that.

I'm on the patch, but getting ready to go off it on Monday to try Depo. I didn't have any side effects at all. If the Depo doesn't work the way I like, I'll be going back to the Patch.

I was on the pill for years, Ortho Tri. I would get forgetful so I tried Depo, my hair fell out in chunks. Really. I went back to the pill, then I got tired of that (forgetful) and got on the patch. Been onit for about a year. I love it except it doesn't match my skin color

I love, love, love Depo!!!
I know that it is different for everyone, but I never (and I mean never) got a period while on depo. It was lovely. I know some people (my dad) were worried about it (no period) but the way I was looking at it was that none of the eggs were maturing anyways so it didn't matter. It's not like the eggs were maturing and then being released. None were being released.
I personally would love it we (women) could "shut" our periods off until we are ready to get pregnant and if you never want kids, then bye bye period.
They are annoying and since I'm not a huge tampon fan I hate having to change my entire wardrobe due to my period.

I know. They need multi-color patches. Hopefully, everything will go well with the Depo. I'm giving it 3 months. If it works, GREAT! If not, back to the patch. I haven't had any trouble with any of the BC I've been on (Ortho, Nuvaring, the patch) so hopefully I'll be just like ASUADPi. Wish me luck!

I know, right?
Other than, "hey, pass me that Tylenol," my father and I have never discussed medications.

My dad and I never really discussed my period. He knew I didn't get them (hello never bought anything while on Depo). He was mostly concerned that I would have problems later on in life, especially since he knows how much I want kids. That is why it was discussed.
I never felt weird discussing stuff like this with my dad. He was concerned for my well being and if I would have problems conceiving later on.
Personally I think it's really sweet that my dad took an interest in the birth control I was using. Like I said, he knows I want kids so he wants to make sure I don't have problems trying to get pregnant. That is really sweet of my dad to be concerned and I'm not even trying to get pregnant.

I was on Marvelon pill for about 5 yrs, then stopped for about 6 months, went back on it for 2 years...and stopped again when i ran out last Feb.
That's it for me. I see no reason to keep polluting my body with something I don't need (I mean, I put enough crap in it as it is!) And although i had no problems on it, i did notice other changes. I'll stick to condoms and if I end up pregnant, so be it! I'm not concerned with ending up a single mother, if that happens....
now in reality that isn't likely to happen since, well, not much goin on here
