HI Jackie,

This shot is the Depro-Provera shot, I believe. I think you get it once a

year or something like that. I would be soooo wary of it. My Mom has a

friend who has a adopted dd (the dd is 21) who was brain damaged by alcohol

fetal syndrome from her birth Mom, this girl has already had one pregnancy

which she aborted, so her mental health workers have her taking this shot.

She has put on a lot of weight from it, this girl used to be bone thin!!

If I am not mistaken, it's shooting a woman full of hormones, right?

PS--Jackie, forgot to answer your question the other day! I am on Cape Cod...

Kerin,

It sure sounds like its " shooting a woman full of hormones " !! It CAN'T

be good. I did a little checking and the Depro-Provera is done every 3

months I think, and I guess there's a new one coming out called Lunelle.

that is supposedly safer but you get the shot every month. According to

all the propaganda I found on the web, it is just like the pill and

they're trying to develop a way that women can give themselves the shot

so as to avoid so many trips to the drs. I just CAN'T believe it's that

safe! Maybe the 'putting on weight' issue,at least, will be enough to

scare my friend!

Thanks for the input-- Jackie

The pill is not even as safe as I once believed. I developed a (thankfully)

benign liver tumour from it. I think the shots do have the same side

effects.

Hello,

I was on Depo-Provera for about a year and my sil was on it too, as was

my mom and at least three cousins. After you quit taking it you have a

higher chance of miscarriage, it takes about a year after you're due for

your last injection to become pregnant (not everyone of course), and

everyone that I know that has taken it has had their period stop which is

usually a selling point. Except now that whole thing scares, and after my

two kids I got an IUD which are much, much safer than they used to be.

Ecspecially if you are monogamus.

My sil thought she was pregnant did the announcing thing and all and

later they thought the baby had died and she got a D & C and there was no

baby just amniotic fluid or something close to that. Sorry I don't have the

facts sitting next to me and this happened 4 years ago. I did not know that

there was a higher risk of miscarriage or baby-less pregnancies until I saw

my doctor while trying to get pregnant and he told me that yes after the

shot there is a greater chance of these kinds of incidences. I was not

prewarned about these things when I was getting the shots at the local

health department, not this doctor. Anyhow side affects that affected family

members were depression, moodiness, weight gain and pimples. I did not gain

weight but a cousin got big and moody, my depression got worse. Anyways I

didn't have anything technical to say and I see my post is somewhat

confusing but the shot was something I sure wish I wouldn't have bothered

with.And the shot was every three months.

Sincerely,

Staisha
