I’m on the depo birth control and I love it so I recommend that one. It’s a shot you have to get every 3 months, but I lose my period every time I start up with the new dose. Everyone says you’ll lose weight but I didn’t see anything tbh , imma female tho and also have bipolar but it ain’t too bad plus I don’t have any symptoms nor side effects with the depo.

in response to yo.emmily, everyone’s different! i was on the depo shot and experienced more frequent and more intense mood swings. i stopped birth control completely because of it

oh mine were so bad on Hailey! I had to switch to Sylna and it's been alright but not totally better. considering just going off it completely because the mood swings aren't worth it
