I recently found out that I have the MTHFR gene and so does my mother. She is very helpful with informing me about this and my health, however, I do not feel completely comfortable speaking to her about birth control options. For a year I was taking the depo provera shot, but then found out about this gene and was worried it was unhealthy for my body. So I recently came off of it, but I still wish to take a form of birth control besides condom use. I was hoping to know what each form does to our bodies when we have this gene, and which would be the best option. I have looked into the pill, shot, implant, and both versions of IUD (hormonal and non hormonal).
