A member asked:
What birth control is similar to the depo-provera shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depo contraception: Depo Provera provides your body with progestin-type hormone for 12 weeks. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud provides a similar progestin-type hormone for up to 5 years. So does the contraceptive implant. The "mini-pill" is a daily oral form of progestin-type contraception, but is not as effective in preventing pregnancy.
