The NuvaRing works well for me.

This is just my experience, but the Depo Provera shot was absolute hell. I gained more than 30 pounds and had horrible skin (acne) problems. The worst part, though, was the depression that kicked in. I thought about dying all the time. I'd be driving down the road, for example, and would begin to imgine what it would feel like to drive off it and crash into a telephone pole or tree or cow or whatever I could see. It was messed up.

I only had one shot--I was too terrified to get another. And I swear I knew the day I finally had all the sh*t out of my system. It was the day I stopped crying all day every day.
