From what I've been told, it's not very effective on it's own as birth
control. Course, I have no first hand experience with it, but I know
I was told there's a reason that mainly only breastfeeding moms take
it... in combination with the possible no ovulating of nursing, it's
more effective then while by itself. You do have to use a barrier
method with it, from what I know.

Course, those people could be wrong, but I only know a few who take
it, and that's what I was told. I've never had a problem wtih Depo,
other thne the needle in my but, so I have never considered a pill.

This was going to be my next question, how about the lower dosage
pill
like ortho-tricyclen LO or the mini pill, has anyone had any
problems
with it, successes?

I've just given birth a little more than 2 weeks ago and now I'm
starting to think about birth control options. I have been on
the
pill and depo in the past and didn't do so good on it. I had
anger
and anxiety problems while on them. So I'm looking for an
alternative
but as silly as it sounds I don't want something that prevents a
fertilized egg from being implanted, I would prefer something
that
halts ovulation. Am I asking too much? Does something exsist?

Have you considered trying the patch? Also, your doctor might be
able to
give you a lower dose of the pill or maybe switch brands. For
some people,
that alleviates the negative side effects.
