I am also 23 I had problems with my
periods when I was 16 and was advised to
go on the depo injection birth control a
needle which you have once every three
months you dont have any periods at all
then when I was 19 I decided I wanted a
child with my partner of 8 years it took
me 18 months to get pregnant and this was
through the needle my doctor advises me.
After giving birth to a healthy 8lb 3oz
boy my periods are as synchronized as swan
lake. Have you tried haveing a sti test
as you my have some kind of infection
which is causing these irregular periods
it has been known for girls to have
infections with no symptons such as
clamydeia which can be serious as it
destroys youre fallopian tubes if left to
long there for decreasing youre chances of
startin a family my advice is put youre
foot down tell the doctor what you want
done about it instead of him telling you
whats going to happen

I used to only get periods every once in
awhile. After I had my son and after I
was on depo, they never came back. I was
diagnosed with pcos. I have to take
prometrium to get my period every 3 months
or stand a higher chance of cancer. I am
trying to get pregnant now using metformin
to start and then clomid if met doesn't
work.
Have you asked your gynecologist? If that
was your gyno, maybe you should find a
different Dr.

Depo Deteriorates Your Bones! Posted: 03-01-06 16:30pm
I too had a problem similar and was
advised to go on the depo shot. After a
year of being on it, I severely broke my
foot. It was the first bone i'd ever
broken and couldn't walk on it for 4
months. I found out then that after a
year on the shot your bones can start to
deteriorate, and this is probably why I
broke it after only stepping on a shoe
funny. Don't want to alarm anyone, just
thought I would tell people, since my
doctor failed to inform me.
