Common Questions and Answers about Depo provera vs mirena
depo-provera
I was on my 2nd one as well, took the first one out because the strings were poking me and my husband. However, the main reason I had the second one removed is because it was like I was stuck in a perpetual loop of PMS.
The deposit provera shot made me bleed for 7 1/2 months straight. It made me gain mass amounts of weight and brought my anxiety up. It also weekend my bones. all that from getting the shot 1 time. I wouldn't recommend the depo provera shot.
In October, I got my first shot of Depo-Provera. I know several women on depo and they have all told me they have had the same experience: no periods, no spotting and no other side effects whatsoever. My experience has been horrible. For the first 6 weeks, all was well, no bleeding/spotting and no other symptoms. A few weeks ago, however, I began spotting. Every day it became heavier.
It's possible, however I think you have your birth controls messed up. An IUD is an intrauterine device, and isn't a shot. You can get either the Paragard or Mirena, and it's left in for 5 or 10 years depending on which you get. The only birth control shot is the Depo Provera. Usually after using this, you won't fall pregnant immediately. It can take 6 months to a year for it to fully leave your system.
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone out there knows anything about the long term use of Depo-Provera Contraceptive. I have been using it for a few years now, and have no plans of stopping using it anytime soon, as I am in college and will be for quite some time to come. I know that I am putting myself at risk for Osteoporosis by using it for a long time. But what I don't know is considering the fact that since being on Depo, I have had pretty much no menstrual cycle for a very long time.
It sounds to me like some of the people who are writing may be confusing the Mirena with Depo Provera--those are definitely side effects of the Depo shot.
In fact, the copper IUD has been a bigger cause of problems than the Mirena in my clientelle. It tends to make period cramping worse, And the bleeding heavier! Women who like it, really swear by it though.
The Mirena, in my experience usually lightens the flow tremendously--or even stops the bleeding altogether.
What is a good birth control method for someone with bipolar disorder with psychotic features? My wife recently stopped taking Depo Provera, which I believe may have contributed to yet another psychotic episode->hospitalization. We don't want any kind of permanent solution (e.g. tubal ligation), but we need a reliable method and one that won't destabilize her once we decide to have a baby.
I would like to say that my doctor actually went to a seminar regarding depo and calcium loss and their is no substantial evidence that state this is true. I've been on depo for nearly 10 years straight with no calcium loss.
I actually quit depo because of that rumor, and I gravely regret that. After visiting my doctor, he found this seminar and went just to learn more about my inquiry of the long term effects.
well i thought ok this is my mind messing with me but now i have been freaking out i am supposed to get my period in a week but just got the depo provera 2 days ago now i have been eating everything in sight, headaches, breast tenderness like never before but my main concern is me peeing every 30 min and i have wat seems a bulge i dont know if its the depo or if its a pregnancy and im wondering if i should go get a ultrasound to ease my mind.
If you were my patient, I would advise you that there are lots of available options and you should probably make an appointment with your doctor to decide what is going to be best for you. Oral contraceptive pills are the most popular form of birth control. Depo Provera injections are also popular and easy--one "shot" every three months. Nexplanon in an implant and MIrena is an IUD which does not contain copper.
You can't get pregnant unless you ovulate. If you are trying to get pregnant, stop taking the pill. If you don't want to get pregnant, I would suggest a "more disciplined" birth control like the Mirena or Depo-Provera. at least you won't have to worry about taking it everyday which will then Eliminate the thoughts of are you? or are you not?
If you were using Depo-Provera it may take longer for your cycles to return to normal. Keep in mind that Depo-Provera is designed to be a long-lasting form of birth control. Even though it is intended to help you avoid pregnancy for up to three months, it may actually prevent pregnancy longer. Depo-Provera is a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone.
