Birth control while using methotrexate.

[Shirlz3]

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

Hi,

I'm on the progestogen only pill and have been on it for almost 5 years and started the Methotrexate in Feb consultant never mention any issues between using both and havent had any issues with osteoporosis

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
