Answer 2

Please, please, please think hard before you try this.
I've been off the Depo Provera since 2000 and my hair still hasn't grown all the way back. I lost about a 1/4 inch along most of my front hair line. The rest of my hair came back and is thick and strong, but the hairline is awful compared to what it was. In addition to the severe hair loss, I gained over 40 pounds, 20 while taking Depo and 20 after coming off. I never had a migraine before Depo and during use and for the first year after being off it, I had severe migraines at least once a week. My skin itched like I wanted to rip it off and I was hot all the time. I would get extreme vertigo with no warning. Just try staggering at work or while in the pharmacy and not look like you had a drinking problem! A little over a year after coming off the Depo Provera, I developed two serious blood clots one after the other. The cause was never completely determined because I had not been on birth control of any kind for over a year and my blood tests were normal. I finally had a rib removed and the clots stopped, but I will contend to this day the Depo had at least a little something to do with it. About the same time as the blood clots, I started having severe cramping and a year into it, my doctor found pretty severe endometriosis. With the resulting depression and the lack of sex from Depo you may not have to worry about getting pregnant because you won't want to have sex anyway. I know some people do just fine with this birth control, but it's not worth the chance. It takes upwards of 6 to 8 months for the effects to wear off and sometimes longer. My hair has never grown completely back along the hairline and I am having a hair transplant at a tune of $5,000.00 to fix it. I am only 35! I can't wait until Depo is researched more deeply and to someday find out what else this drug did to screw up my system. They ought to be ASHAMED!
I got the (copper) IUD (since I can't use hormones anymore due to future clotting risks). My insurance paid for it. You still get your period, but it's worth it. Sorry to have to say this, but our bodies are made to have periods unless we are pregnant. If you force your body into an unnatural state, it WILL fight back!

Answer 3

you would talk to your doctor, so they can put you on something else. if you don't want to be on birth control at all then you don't have to talk to anyone, you just stop going back for shots. there is no way to just take the shot out of your body. you have to wait three months from the last time you got a shot for it to wear off. even then since you've been taking it for so long it will take even longer to get out of your system. hope this helps, good luck!

Answer 4

Of course it is possible to get pregnant on the shot. Just like it is possible to get pregnant on the pill. The shot is the worst contraceptive on the market with horrible side effects.

Answer 5

Talk to your doctor. The pharmacist does not give injections, the nurse at the clinic does. Just explain that you prefer a different birth control method.

Answer 6

If you don't want it any more, just don't go get it!!

I know I took it one time and if you'd have talked to me, I'd have b.i.t.t.e.n your head off, because it made the biggest heifer!

Answer 7

Your doctor. He is the one giving the perscription.
