Depo-Provera

I started using Depo-provera, so I didn’t have to remember to take a pill everyday. I didn’t like the idea of a foreign object such as coil or implant in me, so I went for the injection. It is a slight risk to start taking a contraception that is in you for 3 months not knowing whether it will agree with you or not, but I hadn’t had problems with previous contraception, the combined pill. To my knowledge I’ve not had side effects. Personally I don’t have periods on the injection which is good for me. I’ve been on it for ~10 years now without a break. It will be a bit scary coming off it for the first time.
