Birth Control
"I have been on Depo Provera since I was 18, so about five years. I have had no issues with it. I have not had a period in years (before I had terribly heavy periods), I did not experience any weight gain, do not have trouble staying fit, and do not experience any mood/personality swings. I just don&#039;t like that it&#039;s likely weakening my bones, but I try to stay on top of that with calcium/D supplements. However, I do wonder if it&#039;s had a negative effect on my sex drive, but that&#039;s inconsistent and I have nothing to compare it to since I got my shot as soon as I became sexually active, so it&#039;s hard to say."
