I am 25 years old and was on depo provera
for 6 years, I switched over to the patch
1 year ago to get my periods back to
prepare for my husband of 6 years and I to
try for a child. I went off birth control
completely 7 months ago and have been
bleeding non-stop since and spent a lot of
money on Dr.'s bills and tests to only be
told that this is all a result of the depo
and am finding many others having
difficulty concieving due to the same
problems. I wish some one would have
warned me about this. If you are on the
depo, get off now even if it will be 3
years till children. Now all of my
friends are getting pregnant and I am
waiting for my cycles to regulate. :evil:

I totally agree with you.. I was on depo
for only 6 months and have been on no
birth control for the last 9 months and I
am still not pregnant. Also I have been
bleeding for the last 3 months straight
and now they want to put me on yasmine to
try to regulate it (which means no ttc for
a while)
i gained 30 pounds was extremely emotional
and now have very messed up periods. I
would advise anyone thinking of going on
depo to reconsider. My guess is that it
will be off the market in the next couple
of years.
