vaginapagina | Contraceptive choices? (Reply)

Hi there! I am looking at contraceptive options at the moment, and am trying to decide what is best. I have been on the pill previously, a combination pill called Trifeme. I was on it for about 4 years, and while it was effective, I suffered from mood swings and found it hard to remember to take it every day. I have been thinking about Depo Provera, but am not sure what kind of side effects are common with that one. I have also been interested in the Nuva Ring, but I live in Australia and I am not sure it is available here.
Really, I want something that involves miminal effort and is effective, without too many side effects. If anyone who is on Depo could give me some advice on how much it costs, side effects etc, I would be incredibly grateful.
