Depo-Provera (depot medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a birth control method given in the form of an injection in either the arm or the rear or possibly both. It last up to three months and is about ninety six percent effective. It's made from prostegin which is a synthetic version of the body's natural progesterone, which would make the injections very unnatural to your body. Here are some common symptoms associated with this birth control method:

Weight gain Depression Bloating Migraines Swollen breasts Reduced sex drive Hair loss Dizziness Terrible acne Irregular bleeding Hot flashes Leg cramps nausea Vaginal discharge

There have also been many horrifying testimonials of side effects by women that have received these injections. One confronted her doctor about her sickness and the doctor said that it couldn't be coming from the injections. The woman said that her doctor took $8,000 dollars from her by treating her sickness and the sad part was that she was misdiagnosed with the

wrong symptom. I'm not saying that all doctors are bad, but you should feel that you have a close relationship with your doctor and that he or she is out there for your well being rather than making money.
