i gained 15 lbs since I went on the depo shot like in November and I stopped taking it! I need to get back on birth control since I'm sexually active with my serious boyfriend! However, I dont want to get any bigger! It doesnt matter how I regualte my food either, I just gain! =(

Sure!
Paragard is a copper t-shaped devise that is inserted by a doctor and remains in place for up to 10 years. During that time you are protected against getting pregnant just as though you were on the pill or another form or BC. It is "recommended" for women who have already had children, but I think most doctors will give it to you even if you haven't had any kids (I've defintely never had any).
Anyway, there's a lot of information about paragard out there. I would start off by checking the paragard website:

IUDs probably are not for everyone, but I really love paragard. I can't believe I even have BC because I've never felt so good on any other type of BC. All those hormones, gosh, they just made me feel awful!
If you have any specific questions, post away! Good luck!
A lot of women gain weight when they use Depo, it's the only form of birth control for which appreciable weight gain is pretty much a given.
Nuvaring is worn during sex unless you find it to be uncomfortable.
