As I said in my first post, (which Darryn kindly tidied up for me - Thanks Gunvnor.) Most women are fine on the pill. It is just that those who are negatively affected, are hit really hard with some horrible side effects.
It doesn't even seem to be genetic from my own experience, as my Mum was on Microgynon and had no problems with it, past a bit of PMT increase and wanting to kill my Dad a bit more; but then that's understandable if you'd met him. My Nan was on the pill fine for years too. My advice is just to watch how you feel closely, anything wierd and keep it in mind that it could be the pill to blame.
About the weight gain - I was overweight when I started it, as I settled into the hormone changes I was eating more because I was unknowingly at the time getting more depressed. I found that once I was governed by the synthetic hormones, it was near impossible to lose the weight. My hair and nails didn't grow as well as pre-pill either.
Having read a lot about serotonin and its connection to the pill recently, I think it is more due to its depletion that my body tells me to eat carbs, when I'm not even hungry as it is desparately trying to produce more happy beans for my brain. That and I like cakes of course.

Then clearly you've never heard the Coco Pops song:
My name's Coco and I live in a tree, I sell condoms for 25p. 25p, 25 bob, It all depends on the size of your knob.

and then maybe "AND it all depends on the size of you knob". Although that doesn't work, because the last line is explaining the reason for the price difference, so AND isn't really appropriate. You could fit 'BECAUSE' in there, so
25p or 25 bob, because it all depends on the size of your knob
That's not great either.

I was in a corner shop in Manor House and a girl walked in, walked up to the counter and said 'one condom please' and I said 'do they sell them in singles?' as the guy behind the counter produced a condom and rang up a £1.00 through the till which she happily tossed over at him. The girl turned around, sang a 6 second soul soundbyte straight into my face and nearly skipped out. The guy behind the counter said 'she needs it, s....she needs it for work, you know?' with a sad expression on his face.
I have been on Femodene and then the Depo injection for years with no problems at all, but now I no longer have access to The Cock I might quit and see if I turn into some super-happy robo-woman with high functioning nipples.
Only that would mean missing an injection just before I go on holiday for 3 weeks...Is there likely to be any withdrawal madness?

Boyz of the forum - Abby of the high sexiest femme rating would appear to be single and lookin for some lovin' - is that correct, Abby of the high sexiest femme rating?

I'm told Abby is so hot you could fry and egg on her stomach. However I have not seen her. I'd like to think she's as hott as I'm told but unless she sends me a picture I'll never know.
Naked and buttered would be a good start.

Thanks all of you for giving Thorn some extra wind-up fuel. He can now arch an eyebrow and say, "you didn't use to say things like that. Are you feeling...funny?" And will no doubt be able to say things like, "didn't you use to fit into that skirt?"
And Abby, you've quit "a cock" not The Cock, surely?

I was so baffled as to why I was reading an essay on sex crimes for a while there.
I think it's unfair that they think sex offenders have paid their debt to society by spending some time in jail, and therefore shouldn't have to suffer the depo-provera. As far as I'm aware, I haven't done too much to offend society and have more than paid back any debt I owe in volunteer work. Yet I have to put up with depo-provera, unless I want to get pregnant now or have a hysterectomy so that I can never get pregnant. Yay.

Last night I was listening to Alice In Chains and moaning to my diary about boys. Is this how it begins?

Well before the pill I used to write the odd page or two in my diary every couple of days. Once I started the Microgynon I spent most of every evening writing diary nonsense and feeling down on life. I filled one notebook in about a year pre-pill, it was therefore a big upgrade on misery to fill six in 18 months.

Have a quick twiddle with your nipples and see how that feels.

Look - I know nobody on here knows me that well so what I'm about to write may sound like self-indulgent shit, but I'm going to write this somewhere because it's going around in my head, alright?
For the last few days I've felt like I'm drifting apart from my partner, that somehow we're not as close as we were. In this job I spend far more time travelling so I'm spending less time with him and I'm tired earlier in the evening. But I'm not sure that's what it is. He still shows me affection and loves me, I still feel a lot of love for him, but I've somehow felt really flat these last couple of days.
I can't wait to get off the pill and see if it's the cause of this. I don't know if it is or not.

If you suspect it might be, and given the grim stories from other people is it really worth keeping taking it for a 'few more months', why not just stop now?

They're definitely still there, and I had a filthy thought earlier, involving a man.
It did make me think though, I mean Alice In Chains?

This suspect this is brainrot. Navel gazing is for losers. Have a rethink about what it is you're suggesting. You're drifting apart because your work involves travelling? You're more tired than usual so it puts a strain on your loved one? It's like when people say 'the distance killed it' NO. If people want something, they work at it. Isn't it about time us hue min beens stopped making excuses for our own apathy.

Abby, I've only been posting occasionally so am rather out of the loop, but why exactly are you not having your injection? I mean, apart from absence of a regular cocking which I gather from above posts. Have you had any issues with your injections, any other reasons for concern, or were you thinking of coming off anyway?
I don't want to downplay anyone's bad experiences of FemDeath 3000 (including my own) and related synthetic hormone contraceptives but I feel that someone should just inject (sorry) a bit more of a balanced view here.
Remember when there was that big THE PILL GIVES YOU THROMBOSIS scare about 8 or 9 years ago? Millions of ladies stopped taking their pill overnight and as a result loads got pregnant and then had to deal with an unplanned/unwanted pregnancy and all the choices that ensues. Many more women got pregnant than ever would have suffered the side effects of thrombosis but the media had created such a hype about it that it span out of control.
It sounds like Kellifer and others have had a helluva time with their past contraception and thankfully these seem to be mostly resolved now but lets not create more out of this than necessary.

Because every aspect I can think of in my life is great at the moment: I'm in a highly paid job that I enjoy, we are both looking for a new flat, I'm going to dance classes that I love, my partner is my best friend and has been for years...
This feeling of something not being right started more or less when I started this job. Perhaps it's even the 'everything's going to right it's bound to go wrong soon, so I should expect it' thing. If it is then that's mad; if I could isolate that that's what it was then, great, I can deal with that.
I hadn't even entertained the idea that the pill might be causing me any depression at all, although for years I've had a minor 'down' feeling that seems to come and go, despite my being a positive kind of person. But when several of the ladies on here said that it caused them depression, and furthermore when Louche pointed out that the onset of Microgynon depression can be slow enough for you to not notice it at first, I wondered if that might be it.
I think it's a combination of these two things. I still feel there's no point in switching to another pill, but perhaps going on to condoms might be better for the short time remaining.
I'll think about it...
Thanks everyone for this talk, I have some answers to think about here.
