Hi everyone!
I am new to this group. I was on Depo about 8 months
ago. I went on to the anti-Depo groups and read what
they wrote. My advice, dont go there. They messed me
up.
So, I went off Depo. I then wen on the pill, which
has caused problems for me. I now have two cysts and
somthing else, I forget what it is called, but it is a
group of muscles that grew in my uterus and it has me
bleeding now for 34 days non stop.
As soon as I have the surgery to remove these 3
things, I plan on going back on the Depo.
My doctor explained it to me that we dont even develop
blood for the period. It is great!
Never having to worry about starting early, or
forgetting a pill and getting pregnant. So many
things off your shoulders when you are on it.
It will be nice to meet you all,
Jasmyn
