I had the deprovera shot on July 12th/05. Since then I have been bleeding nonstop. I`m getting married in two months and I just want to know if there is anyway to counteract this awful shot. Please help.

I DESPISE Depo with a passion. Never get on it! Switch to BC Pills Instead.

I took Depo and had a period nonstop for 9 months. It was horrible. I ended up having to go on hormone replacement therapy as my body stopped naturally producing estrogen. It was about a 2 year process untill my body was back to normal and this is only from having 2 shots. I cant beleive this stuff is legal. Dont do it

I have been talking the deprovera shot for several years.
I have headaches often. Later I began to take parsley and
Blend it into water with another fresh herb and added
Pineapple juice to it. My headaches stopped and I was feeling
Fine. However I started to bleed, so I stopped taking the pineapple and the parsley and herb drink. I stopped
Bleeding but my headaches have returned again..
Does anyone have any suggestions. Confused, please if
Someone can enlighten me..
