Deprovera

I used Deprovera for 5 years after the birth of my last child, i didnt have any weight gain and no other side effects, until last year. I have so many hormone problems now it not funny. My breasts are so swollen and lumpy that i cant even take my bras of at nights sometimes, it hurts to lift my arms up and i have trouble sleeping because i either roll on my breasts and it wakes me up or i wake up from the hot flushes! I`m only 27 and it feels like im going through menapause! Everytime my breasts swell up i have to have a breast scan, just in case this time theres something nasty. I have seen two breast surgeons and both have said its from the hormones in the deprovera needle. Hopefully soon my life will be back to normal again. If you had asked me 2 years ok, i would of told you the deprovera needle was great, but now I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy, I wish i new all the side effects before i started having deprovera!
