>>��When I considered the Deprovera shot in April 1994, I did a lot of research w/medical sites (not chat boards). Each woman has to weigh the options & realize it is meant for long term use. Long term does not mean 2 years either. I knew getting into it that there was a period of adjustment (spotting & bleeding for approx 6 months before losing period) before & after. This is something where you have to plan ahead! My husband was against at first but he & I agreed it was the best thing since we did not want children for another five years. I just got off of it this February after 6 & 1/2 years. It's been great & the only problem I had was the initial adjustment. It takes 3-18 months to become pregant afterwards, which we had to consider. From my experience, it was the best thing for me & I would do it again for long-term situations (4+ years or more). Don't think it's bad for you because it works if you're not planning kids in the near future.>>Help, I have a tough decision to make. I already have two children and I lost one shortly after birth, my husband and I tried condoms and I took the pill for years but I just can't seem to keep up with them anymore I'm just so tired of them. I know that I am not in the right emotional state to make a permanent decision like getting my tubes tied but I need something that is effortless. I was seriously considering depo against my husbands wishes, he thinks it's too dangerous and this site is beginning to convince me too. I need to know that there are more than two people that didn't have any problems. What to do what to do!
