Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 > To all I have a question: I went to the ob-gyn today and I have to have a sonogram on friday. She was talking about giving me Depo-provera has any one taken that. She was gonna use that instead of taking my utreus out. any body with any info please tell me ........... some times they hit me with too much...... Pam I do know that Depo-provera is used for birth control. Basically it keeps you from having your periods. Chances are if you are having problems with your period the dr may be trying to stop you from having them. Hope this helps Hugs Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I never lost my period while having the shots, and I had 3 of them. But, when it came time for the 4th shot, my husband told the doctor that I was nothing but a big B*tch and if he gave me that 4th shot, that He was going to move me out of the house and in with the Doctor!!! He was done dealing with me because of the B*tchiness it caused. My friend had the same problem, but she also never had a period from the first shot on... so, she got it both ways. In my opinion, I absolutely would not get the shots ever again in my life! But, then again, my marriage depends on not ever getting them again!! Tonia -------Original Message------- Pam..Depo-provera is a shot given into the muscle in the butt every 3 months...after the 1st or second shot you usually stop having periods. It is used for birth control...If you have migraines I would tell them that...because it can make migraines worse. It also has the side effect of 10-20 lbs weight gain. Hope everything goes well with the sonogram and that you feel better soon...Hugs...GinnyPamela Fredette wrote: To all I have a question: I went to the ob-gyn today and I have to have a sonogram on friday.
