hello i was on the depo provera for 9 months i had been on it once before when i was younger i got off of it cause my husband and i wanted to get pregnant it took 3 years of trying to finally conceive with 1 miscarriage before that other than than no other side affects except for three months depression when i first received the shot but it went away.but my doctor put me back on it after having my child i have had hair loss, depresion, cramping pains heart palipitations, back pain, neck pain, anxiety very emotional i would cry for no reason, panick attacks and i am a very calm relaxed happy person i have been having 3 normal periods a month lasting 10 days i have also have 2 indents in the muscle in by butt check where i got the shot and now have a numbing pain down my leg i was totally fine and periods were normal after having my child it all started after talking the shot oh yeah it has been nine months since i have been off of it and i have also been having white milky nipple discharge and i stopped breast feeding a year and a few months ago i was just wondering could anyone please tell me if they have heard anything about a class action lawsuit against depo provera for these side effects they say these side affects are rare cases but i have read so many different woman's horror stories that pretty much are all the same so to me it doesn't seem to be as rare as they make it seem i also read that depo provera is used to castrate sex offenders if I would have known what i know now i would have never taken it sorry to write such a long post but a really think woman should not be using depo provera and i would really like to join a class action lawsuit if i can or if there are any or how to find out how to get one started i think it has to many woman that shouldn't have to just deal with the side affects the company should label that they are common side affects not rare. i hope this post has helped. I hope I feel normal again someday

I don't believe I have any type of kindey, bladder or urinary track infections. I know 100% I am not pregnant and I am not old...I just turned 30. But, I just went to the bathroom like 5 minutes ago and have to go again. Yes, I wake up in the middle of the night and have to go. I don't find that I drink all that much. But, I have been finding that my mouth has felt quite dry lately. Do you think I am dehydrated?

I'm uh, fairly well endowed, not sure of my size because I never went to get formally measured, but I'm wearing a 34C now and I feel like my breasts will pop out any minute, haha. It also has the underwire which is very very uncomfortable. So, I'm looking for a bra that can give me the same amount of support that the underwire bras offer, but are still comfortable like a sport's bra. I'd wear a sport's bra all the time, but let's face it, they're not very flattering in the looks dept (who wants to wear colors like gray all the time??) and they don't give you as much support.

Victoria's Secret came out with a new bra called the 'Secret Embrace' which is seemless yet looks HOT & comes in a variety of styles, such as full coverage & pushup (I'd probably need full coverage). However one costs about 50 bucks! Next time I'm in the states, should I opt for one of these bras and get formally fitted and everything, and spend that much, or is there a cheaper alternative? I really just want the

Ok, so I got my first and only shot in October. I got a mini period on the 12th. It was light and lasted like 3 days. Then I had a week of on and off pinkish discharge, basically like once a day I would notice it. Then a few days of nothing. Now, like minimal spotting. I usually get a bit of a cramp, then next time I use the bathroom, a little blood. This happens like once a day. About every other day. I have had cramps since the 12th, and lower back aches too. I have had two negative HPT's, and got a blood test today. My Dr. wants to play the well lets see what happens in time game. Just wondering if anyone else has had this kind of craziness after Depo? That stuff should be outlawed. I'm pretty sure my body hates me for ever getting it! Hehe! But really, what is going on? And is it normal?

Hello! I just found yesterday, that a friend die while giving birth to a child. She was in her late 20's. She was a healthy young lady. How common is for a healthy woman to die of a heart-attack during child-birth?

Please I need honest answers. I don't need jokes or dumb answers. All I am asking show alittle respect. Thanks!

I've read a lot of bad experiences...weight gain, mood swings, etc. I already have about 15 pounds to lose and I really don't want to gain anymore. I've only been on birth control one other time (alesse (not sure of the spelling)) and that was only for about 5 months (5 years ago)...I had absouletly no sex drive and I do not want that to happen again.

My zip code is 12065, and I'm willing to travel within a radius of about 150 miles, if necessary. It will help if the doctor is in the Aetna network, but that's not necessary if the doctor is really the best.

I got the depo shot, which is a birth control shot that is administered every three months, but because I didn't have the money to buy the medicine when my period came on I got the shot administered as soon as I got the money but this wasn't until after I had already had my period. Now two months later I haven't had a period at all and I have had sex unprotected, could it be that I am pregnant? Or should I give it mroe time?

This pain happens when she starts to walk. This happens only in the morning, after waking up. After exhaustive exercise involving stretching up of the heels and ankles, it will go away, but will come up as usual, every morning. Any advice will be gratefully appreciated.
