Hello ☺ i definitely think you're onto a winner there. Personally, I didn't realise i was depressed until i came off my 'depo' contraceptive injection (after four years of having the bugger) and felt so much better. I would definitely suggest coming off hormonal treatments and seeking better alternatives. It took my body nearly two years to regulate itself after filling it with the injection and/various contraceptive pills. After a hard year of adjusting, mother nature is now VERY easy on me. I only use herbal treatments which anybody can use, i.e tea(s), aromatherapy, relaxing smells, baths etc. It sounds ridiculous to anybody until you try it 😊

I could do with an answer to this as well! I cant take the combi pill or the injection for medical reasons. Which leaves the implant or pogesteron (spelling?) only pill and Ive read some horrible stories about the links to mood and the implant

Wen I first asked for birth control, this was years ago like... They said couldn't give me the implant as it would make my depression worse, I tried so many contraceptives pills, they all had an effect on my depression, so I used the withdrawal method, that's wen I liked having sex, now lost all confidence.

I have had the pill and coil also for most of my adult life ,I had ectopic pregnancy and I was told it was because of the coil , I have suffered all my adult life with depression too, I have never put the two together before , iam know going through /finished menopause and early this year Finally had a coil removed and iv got to say I have never been better in along time even at this time of year ,iam usually at my worst ,maybe there is a link

I am on the progestin only pill and yes, it negatively effects my mood. However, pregnancy would probably be worse.
