There are other forms of BC that can be used besides just the pill or DepoProvera. As caseysmom mentioned there is an IUD. You can also try a diaphragm, a vaginal ring, or even an implant. These are all reversable forms of BC that will stop being effective when they are removed (unlike the DepoProvera). Not all MD's are okay, with the implants so you might have to find someone else. But before going with the DepoProvera do your research and ask for a second opinion.

Just keep in mind that after age 35-ish, being on any hormone birth control increases your risk of blood clots, therefore increases your risk of stroke and other nasties. Also, if you DO react badly to the depo in any way, you can't just take it out, you're stuck with it until it leaves your system!

I have the copper IUD, and I couldn't be happier with it. I had an abnormal amount of cramping for about six months after I got it in, but after that no problems!
