hiya

ok so me and my partner have just become sexually active but it's just so annoyin having to interupt to put on a condom. I would like some opinions off people on what they think is the best type of birth control besides condoms. I have been on the pill before but came off as I split with my preivious partner, plus they seemed to be givin me quite bad headaches, myt this be just a side affect, im thinking it may just be because i didnt give it long enough for my body to get used to it as I was only on it for about 3 months. but saying that I would actually like an alternative to the pill as I found that I sometimes forgot to take it. I'v heard about injections you can get, has anybody had these and what are they like?

All advice would be welcome

Thanx

I would not recommmend Depo Provera if you already suffered headaches from just the pill. The depo shot is a superdose of hormones and it doesn't leave your system until it wears off, so if you suffered terrible side effects, you would just have to wait it out. I was on it for 6 months and had to come off of it because I didn't like how it made me feel. Good luck in your choices
