Infections?

A while back I posted a message asking if anyone else has gotten infections from this shot, I have had a nonstop one that I have used the strongest antibiotic with and it just won`t go away. The dr. Says that it can make you more suseptiable (sp) to gettin infections but this is rediculous. Has anyone had this problem besides me?? Please let me know!!!

I`m not sure what shot you are talking about, but if you mean Deprovera (or however you spell it), I think infections are typical of any birth control....it just has the effect on some women and is not uncommon, and is likely to stick with you so long as you keep taking the birth control. Ask your doctor about switching to another method that has lower levels of estrogen. As for antibiotics, I thought that made things worse as far as those kind of infections go.....antibiotics can give women infections as well.
