Never broke a bone and got a broken collarbone just from being pushed down by a girl. i've been on depo for over two years, am i getting brittle?

Possibly: Women who use Depo experience a loss of bone mineral density (BMD), which may put them at higher risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures later in life. If you are worried about this you can do a simple X-ray test on the wrists that can help you tell how well your bone mineralization is comparatively... Ask your doctor about this test, can be done at any hospital with radiology.
