Just curious of some opinions of women who are using it because my dr. mentioned it for me. I'm worried about the breakthrough bleeding because I'm having that on the regular pill right now and my dr. thinks it's probably because I keep losing weight.
Thanks!

I was on Depo-provera shots for about 1-1/2 years. When my cycle started back up, it was awful. Awful. Plus, I had absolutely no libido. None. While I was on depo, if I never had sex or any kind of intimacy ever again, it was a-ok with me.
You might want to seriously talk about whether you'll have more kids and decide if you'll get your husband fixed.

I did the Depo, and oddly that worked out well for me--I'm one of the few though--I hear most women don't like it.

My doctor said it was fine for me to basically be on it forever....but maybe that's just specific to what's going on with me. But I'm surprised any doctor would say it's bad to be on for more than 2 years generally, I would say not all doctors would say that....?

im not sure how the prices compare but talk to your dr about just staying on the pill youre on now and taking it continuously.

It's kind of concerning because being attached to the military for the last 15 years I've seen at least 30 providers. Some care, some don't. So it wouldn't surprise me that I haven't been told certain things.
That being said, I've been off almost a year and a half and am considering going back on just to regulate the moods and everything else. :?

I did that years ago also, after having some problems with anemia and doctor knowing that I was a runner and didn't want to bother with getting a period all the time. He said it's not bad to not to have your period every month, it's bad when your body doesn't want to have a period every month. I've never had that problem. I can't be on bcp anymore due to hbp and these 2 years off bcp are the suck and I have to watch my iron levels again. So now that I went and let my DH get fixed, I'm considering having my uterus yanked for good.....don't want it, don't need it.

i didnt know that about the high blood pressure. i have mildly hbp that is under control with meds but none of my drs have ever said anything about that. is it something i should be concerned about?

The pill can contribute to high blood pressure, yes. Mine has been higher than normal lately, partly because I've been on steroids (another thing that can raise BP) and lack of working out. So I took myself off my pill just to see what would happen. I am anemic and we were using the pill to control that plus just make things regular/tolerable. But I've been on it 9 years and I want to know what happens when I go off. If its the same as it was, I'll be back on soon. But if things change I wouldn't mind not taking anything until I need it. I too have several friends who did as you did with the skipping of the placebo week for a couple months, one had endometriosis and the other had some other kind of painful problem and the doctor suggested that. So its not awful, and every. 28. days. isn't exactly normal but at the same time I don't know if 4 times a year is good either. I'm taking OB this summer, I'm sure I'll get more info then...
