A member asked:

Was wondering if there's a progesterone only birth control similar to depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) ..i smoke can only usethat kind..thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Micronor (norethindrone) or IUD: Micronor is a Progesterone only form of birth control, but this might be associated with a significant amount of breakthrough bleeding, the other options for you include the Mirena (levonorgestrel) or paraguard iud's or the Nexplanon implant. None of these contain estrogen.
