The three years I didn't get my period I always felt kinda like I'm missing out on something, ya know?

I felt the same way with the Depo, felt unnatural and wrong. I was on Depo for three or four years, and got off because i wasnt getting any and didnt see the point in paying so much.
When I was on Depo, though, it was wonderfull to not have to deal with periods and things, but the emotional side effects (majior depression, and anxiety. no good) / weight gain (excess water weight i believe) were a big down point.
My friend Sarah was on Depo for about the same time i was. She had a decressed sex drive (which her husband and her both didnt like), weight gain and spotting ocasionally (which i didnt have any of). Now she is on the patch, which, both of us didnt think much of till she tryed it. The patches apperently stay on and work to, and i have been thinking about trying it myself. Any info on the patch BTW?
(Oh and BTW i am new to the forum.)
