I was talking to my friends one day and the subject came up and i told them i don't have my period any more because i'm on the depo shot and they asked me why would i want to stop my period and i said i didn't like the messy ness but i liked what it stood for and my cramps were always unberable and my doctor told me it would stop them so i got it.But then they told me your period cleans you out and if you don't have it were does all the fluids go like the blood,the eggs,discharge ect.

Ok, this is how depo and bc pills work.. they trick your body to think your pregnant.. You have your period and all these fluids come out, so when your not on your period, during the other times of the month your body is buliding these fluids up to prepare for a baby, but since you don't get pregnant it has to excreet them. Now if you got pregnant, all the fluids stay in there for protection on the fetus, and since the BC pills and Depo trick your body to make it think your pregnant, all it your body does is hold them in.
Make sense?
Don't worry its not hurting you or anything. And its not necessary to have a period. And your period is not what cleans you out, what cleans you out down there is the white discharge you get, which still occurs wether your on Depo or not.

Dont worry about it, your body is a self cleaning system and the way it gets cleaned has nothing to do with your period. Your period is a preperation for pregnancy thats all and Depo tricks the body into thinking your pregnant. I have taken Depo for years and no problems... also I have a friend who took it for years and stopped when she wanted to have a baby and had one no problems.

Although I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Depro.....it has some side affects. I took it for 6 years to get rid of cramps. One of the questions they ask each time you get a injection is about loss of sex drive. Well I am a sex machine, so it didnt apply. I talked with a coworker one day who revealed a little more info then I was comfortable talking about, but she brought something to light. A woman had discharge through out the month, and it signals changes in hormones and release of eggs. I had no discharge for years, not a bit!! Then I began to get quized by my man about if I was enjoying sex, and I really wasnt anymore. So besides the sex, I recently was told I have low bone density. Part of the talk with my doctor was my prolonged use of Depro, and he said in the last few years a warning is put on the package not to administor for extended time periods. He thought 3 years should be the max amount of time.
When I got off Depro, I had been watching TV one night. It was about convicted sexual predators being paroled or released from jail but required to under go CHEMICAL CASTRATION. It showed the process, and it is done by injecting the male with Depro Vera every 1-4 weeks. It affects a males ability to have an erection, but these men can and do commit crimes by sodomy since they cant get a hard on. That freaked me out and the clinic was unaware when I asked them about it. They managed to pull it up on the web and read it for themselves.

Um...how old are you? You need to be worrying about your spelling not your menstrual cycle. Your spelling sounds more ****** up than your cycle.
