I used Norplant for 5 years and it worked quite well except for getting those suckers out of my arm - after all that time, they didn't want to come out. For the next couple years I used the Depro-Provera injection. The only reason I stopped is because somebody told me that I might lose weight. So I stopped the injections and not only did I not lose weight, I started having these feelings...terrible feelings. I was irritable, hungry, bloated, weepy and a horror to be around. Since I had not had a period in 7 years, it took awhile for me to realize that I was suffering from PMS.
Not to mention the unholy mess of the regular "monthlies". I ran straight to the doctor for a Depro shot and they will have to pry the syringe from my cold, dead fingers before I quit Depro injections again. Just my opinion.
