I was on Depo-Provera for about two years when my gynecologist suggested I stop the injections. I was horrified because with Depo I had no period, no cramps, no pain, and or even no PMS! She said a new study came out that if Depo-Provera is taken for more than one year, osteoporosis is likely to develop when older. Therefore, I stopped and switched to the birth control pill. However, in time, I began developing these horrible pains that were hard to describe. That was two years ago, and I just found out three months ago that I have Endo. Therefore, being on Depo was keeping the Endo that I was not aware of at bay!

Worked for almost 4 years then the pain started getting extremely bad again.
