It will help you from getting pregnant for about 6 months to 1 1/2. And your period also changes it is lighter and I think it last shorter time than on regular birth control pills.

The ONLY good things are you get shot every three months and you might not ever menstruate.
There are far far more horrible things about depo provera. TOO many women have serious side affects and health risks because they took the shot.
Please google "depo provera lawsuit" and check out its reviews at http://www.rateitall.com/t-330-birth-control-methods.aspx .
I was on it for four years and it was horrid. I would never recommend this to ANYONE, I'm appalled its still on the market.

i have heard nothing good about depo. i would recommend either getting the pill or just sticking to condoms. my friends have gained weight or lost it. one friend had her period for 3 months. others get extreme pains in their arms or legs after getting the shot.
i hate seeing others in pain or just unhappy so i recommend the pill hun
good luck though :]
