Hi. I’m on methotrexate at the moment for psoriasis and arthritis. I was wondering what birth control you ladies are on. I’m on depo at the moment but really thinking about changing as I think it’s made me out in a lot of weight and it can give you osteoporosis. Can anyone help? X

The have me on the Depo injection pill. It’s meant to be really bad for your bones. So I wanted to come off it and use a different one as I am afraid of getting osteoporosis. It’s the depo that can give you osteoporosis x
