It's so funny about BC pills. I think everyone is so different you have to try one out for yourself and start moving through them until you find what that fits you. What I used when I was 18 no longer works for me. Well none of them do... So just because someone may love a pill it may be because it works well with their body and hormones...
I had a horrible experience with depo years back. It is a very long and complicated story but if you really want to read it do a search at t-mag forums for "hormone hell" under my name "ironbabe." It was quite a few years ago but I believe they still have all those posts archived.
Pretty much the progesterone from the shot somehow went thru my liver and turned into an androgen and I quit producing estrogen. My voice lowered, my clit enlarged (slightly), and I put on a ton of muscle (not bad, but back then my body was freaking out so I could care less) and then tons of fat. I need to caraveat this by saying I have never used any AS so this was the only thing that could have started the virilization.
Long story short I had to go on hormone replacement therapy to stop the virilization (before the research came out saying how bad HRT is) and a couple of years later I did produce estrogen again and began menstrating again. I have a permanently lowered voice, but it's not gravelly and I still think it's sexy. The clit went back to normal. I was told it wouldn't, but it did. The doc told me it was good I already had kids since he didn't think I ever could conceive again. Luckily for me my fourth (and last) child was born May 2nd 2004. So I am through with what happened to me, but even though I had a rare side effect, I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through.
Oh, and, I only had two shots. Ever.

Oh my
I had never had any of those experience but my mood swing would change drastically.It would seems like I have multiple personality. Good thing though that I had stop using it. I believe I been on depo for about a year.I heard that depovera its bad for people who have Hepatitis but some doctor still give it them.
