Depo-Provera Reviews

Show: for
I used it over a year ago, while I was going through the hormone specialist. i stopped. Now I am going to be going on it again for the rest of my life!
Working / Worked
Essentially this is a double dose of Depo Provera, a birth control injection.Again, this is a massive amt of hormones for anyone with depression to tolerate.
I took provera for one cycle and have had a regular cycle ever since--it's been 7 months.
the shot has worked very well
this was just to make mehave a period so i could take clomid, made me feel alwful
Working / Worked
Worked for many years, but finally my system would not recognize it and the breakthrough bleeding became constant and painful.
Working / Worked
Its working out great for now. I havent had any side effects and I havent gotten my period. Also my pain is much, much better!
Was on Depo for a little more than 2 yrs.
This is the ONLY birth control that doesn't cause ridiculous amounts of bleeding
Worked to prevent pregnancy and to regulate my cycles. I had extreme side effects like, mood swings, depression, facial hair growth and weight gain.
