Personally, I haven't had a period since I got the mirena, but everyone is different. To see a change you might have to wait 3 months or more. Weight gain is common with the depo shot. I'm biased, I've had the depo shot before but I didn't like the side effects. I felt moody and off.
Other than pills and patches, you could try the birth control implant? Here's a website with more info:

I'm hoping that this would be a good option for you. You wouldn't have to worry about taking a pill, it's effective and you wouldn't have to worry about your guy feeling it during sex or it moving.
Maybe wait a couple months for the mirena? Since you went through the trouble of getting it put in (ouch!).
