Depo-Provera : Contraceptive Injection

Im irratated with it bc I bleed everyday and my face is breaking out like crazy how the hell u stop the acne and still use this method

I havent had any major problems with this. When my shot wears out, I get bad acne. You also will get your period symptoms but I'd rather just get the symptoms than to get the actual thing. If you don't get your shot, you'll bleed terribly bad. I also personally get very bad insomnia on the shot so I wont go to bed until like 4 a.m but i do recommend this or the Ortho-evra patch.

I went on DP back in 2004, I was 14 years old. By the third month, my headaches were massive and to this day (age 24) I have trouble with migraines. I gained about 10 lbs in the course of being on Depo-Provera (I was only on it for 6 months). My mom's friend on the other hand, has been on it since the 80's and her only issue was some moderate weight gain. I was told my GP that I shouldn't have been placed on Depo at such a young age because side effects are more severe in younger girls, but because of my endometriosis (undiagnosed then) it really was my only relief. If you're considering this, talk with several doctors (at least 3) and do your research. I did not suffer from acne until about the age of 19 or so, so I am doubtful that DP has anything to do with it.
