Lowest Side effects?

I have been on the depo shot for a while. In fact its the only BC I have ever used besides condoms. However, there are side effects- and as I read about them - they can get worse. I also have heard that I can still be fertile in those rest months between your shots (supposed to take a break every now and then). Is this true?

Also- from what you guys know what form of BC has the lowest amount of side effects- especially the weight gain and loss of libido?

Hi godiva_film,


You should not have a break from your depo shot.
