Deprovera
I was on and off depo for the last 5 yrs. I loved it! No periods, no cramps, no weight gain absolutely no side effects. I was on the pill for approx 10 yrs. Had painful periods, exrtremly moody and depressed.
I believe that there are side effects to everything you take. Deprovera provides you with a booklet everytime you get the shot. This outlines all side effects (even hair growth). You are a fool if you have not read it. It is not totally up to doctors to inform you. Do your homework. It is just as much as your responsibility to educate yourself. The internet is a great tool for this. I can`t believe some of the questions that you are asking. You should be researching any product before taking it. Deprovera has been around for some time now.
By the way a friend of mine got pregnant 1 week after not getting her shot. She now has a two yr old. So it is possible to get pregnant so soon
