Depo-Provera Reviews

Show: for
It work for the fact that it got rid of some of the side effects.
All I can say is that I hated it!!
working great
Still on it
I used this just as a birth control during high school for 2-3 years
doing its job not preg.....no period
I started the depo shot about 6 months ago, as far as I know it's doing what it is supposed to. However, I'm worried about when I stop getting the shot how my periods will be then.
Working / Worked
Have had 2 injections and I am almost 2 weeks out from my 2nd injection. So far it has not worked and I am having a lap done this week to hopefully get some relief
I loved Depo, helped with an array of problems, but my endcronolist (the past couple) don't like it and won't prescribe it.
