Cons and pros of depo shot while breast feeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depoprovera: Depoprovera is a highly effective birth control method that is easy to use as it requires one shot per 3 months. It contains Progesterone only so it does not affect breast milk. It is an appetite stimulant so some users will feel hungry and overeat leading to weight gain. Most have no periods but some will experience breakthrough bleeding.
