I wish you could get a lawsuit started, depo provera has messed up a good portion of my life, and i dont htink i can get pregnant either. I had one shot right after I had my son 6 years ago. The next two years were hell!!!! I had enormous clumping {blood clots} tons of weight gain, dissiness, severe depression etc. I didnt ovulate for 22 months and finally I got a doctor who took me seriously. My hormones were all whacked. Then 1 year later I find I have cancerous gowing in my Uterous so i have to get a procedure {LEAP} to have it lasered out. I believe this was also a result of the depo, now I'm terrified I cant ge pregnant. There were many more symptoms but I thought I would just give a basic rundown. I also know many at least 6 women who have had similar problems with the drug...so I know we're all not alone
Thanks
