When you started using Depo Provera: about 18 years old until about 22
Any issues with insertion?: no, injection in the hip/butt area didn't hurt at all
Any side effects or problems?: HEAPS after stopping it, heavy period, endo typ symptoms, hormonal imbalance so oily hair, skin irritation and a rash on my face too. It is really bad for your bones and can cause infertillity too I think. Took a while to get AF back so if anyone is wanting to ttc I'd go off the depo a least 18 months before starting to try just to get your system back to a 'healthy' state.
Would you recommend to others? Why?: NO, it's so bad for you body!! Was annoyed at the dr who originally suggested I inject my young body with that crap in the 1st place.
