I'm on traditional BC pills and have been on them for years. My GP prescribes them for me and my neurologist could care less about them. LOL

I was on depo provera for about 3 years in the early nineties. My experience with it, in hindsight, is that it caused me to gain weight and contributed to a waning sex drive. Everything got back to normal once off that form of BC and I realized only then how it had been somewhat detrimental to me.
