Please do your research on this before you go ahead with it. It is true how it effects different people, but it is linked to some very serious health issues. I am not sure how many others actually were made to read all the info before having it, but I was (for some reason it still appealed to me )

I had depo provera 10 years ago, 2 weeks after having it I started bleeding (heavier than a normal period) and started putting on weight. (I was 58kg at the time) After a month of continuous bleeding my doctor started me on progesterone to try stop it, nothing happened, and the weight gain continued. Another month passed I was started on oestrogen, more weight gain, still bleeding., I was then started on a combination hormone tablet, nothing. Finally 9 months after the initial injection I was eventually started on a very high dose birth control pill and thankfully it finally stopped.

In this time I had gone from 58kg, very fit, and athletic to 90kg, suffering major depression and bearly able to get out of bed each day. I suffered (and continue to suffer) from anaemia requiring infusions. Luckily, it only took about 3 cycles to get my body back into cycle, and a further 3 months to loose 20kg, and other than the anaemia I haven't had any further ongoing health problems. (that I know of)

I know numerous women that have had the depo injection and loved it, many have continued to get it, a few have started off ok and months done the track experianced the same thing as me.

Please make sure you make an informed decision on this one.
