I couldn't take the regular BC pills (before my hysterectomy) they made things much worse. Now I take a low dose estrogen (post hysterectomy) and have for 8 years. I tried depo when I was hemorraghing (sp) and it also made things worse. Hence the surgery since the pills and shots couldn't help me.

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.
