phobia of medication

Yes Nic - same thing but there are different varieties.
This one being discussed is depo provera.

"Come to the edge."
And they came.
And he pushed them.

Hi April

I am still not sure about it all. I forgot to take my pill again last night - I am hopless at remembering.

It just worries me having an injection that you can't stop taking - if that makes sense. If you take a pill and you get side-effects then you stop taking it. If you get the injection then I am scared that the side-effects will last as long as the injection does - which is a few months isn't it?

I can't make my mind up so I am doing nothing for now!

Have you ever heard of the Nuva Ring, it works with hormons (that's why I never tried it). You have to insert/remove it once a month so you don't have to remember it on a daily basis (advantage over the pill). If you feel uncomfortable with the side-effects you just remove it (advantage over the injections). I don't know whether it's available in the UK yet.

I haven't heard of it no. I will take a look on the net.

Thanks for the info.
