Quick and easy once every 3 months injection Didn't have to remember to take the pill. Very little effect to my mood unlike my experience with the inplant. Very easy and will take again Come off 1 month ago and no period returned yet. Will be TTC later this year

It’s good as you don’t need to take it often only every 12 weeks and doesn’t have too many side effects. No random bleeding, redcuded tummy pain I wouldn’t say 100%. Periods are really heavy and painful, I get a lot of back pain and shivers when I am on.

Please do not use Depo Provera. This is the most dangerous form of birth control. It attacked my endocrine system and caused me over 20 health issues. One shot in 2010 and my perfect health was shattered. I have been very ill for ten years from one shot of depo. Please do not put this in your bodies.
