I'm on the pill. I'm also still breastfeeding (3 yrs) and haven't had a Real period yet since giving birth. I have a sister-in-law who was on the shot and loved it but she gained so much weight that she's noticeably heavier. She used to be an exceptionally skinny size 4.

Once my daughter weans I have talked to my Dr about an IUD or something a little longer lasting and not entirely dependant on hormones as mine are already a little messed up. Prior to pregnancy I used to be so regular without any BC that I could count on my period with a day. If that's the case once I wean and got off the pill then an IUD without hormones would be best for me I think.

Concertina, the one hormone only pill - Progesterone only Pills "Pops". I used them too. I liked them best but went off and onto estrogen because of migranes.
