Remember that the Dr. is not your medical boss. YOU are your own best advocate in these types of situations and it's important to be firm and speak up about what you want to take.
Because really - the end goal is the same for both of you "Reliable birth control until Essue is finished working." Who knows why your OB is pushing Depo (which can have really bad side effects you're stuck with until the shot wears off) - perhaps the Pharmaceutical rep just came through and was talking it up and she hasn't had someone from a BCP company in for awhile. It could be something as simple as that and IMO it's no reason to do something you reacted to poorly in the past.
