i'm on the shot and i love only having to think about it once every there months and that i don't have my period and that its 99.7% effective. but i've been having side effects i got my second shot last wed and i've had a headache since i've been feeling sick since then too. plus i hate getting a shots but i'm worried about getting pg on the pill since i'm not good at remembering them and there only 99% effective which is 1 out of 100 girls which seems like a lot to me. i've got three months to decide i'm just not sure what to do but i don't think these side effects are worth the piece of mind i have while on it. any suggestions.

It's your choice, but I'd talk to your doctor - in my opinion you should be able to have safer sex while at the same time not having headaches or sickness!

Before going on the depo I was on a bunch of different types of pills. I was never really happy with what I was on. Unfortunatly I have to go on a pill that has a higher dose of hormones because its believed that I have endometriosis (runs in the family and I had very heavy unbearable periods when I was in high school).
I am just worried that once I go off the depo that I will get a crazy heavy period. And I am worried about what it will do to me.
Can you just start taking the pill right away? or do you have to wait to get your next period? my body adjusts pretty fast to things. I havent had my period since I got my first shot.
I would like to know what you decide to do, and maybe hear from anyone else out there that has switched over.
Thanks :)
