A member asked:
Can estrogen patch be taken while on depo shot? to regulate hormones. & if not.. what other option is there..? (can't take pills)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Estrogen is occasionally given to women who are using a long acting contraceptive like depo provera to stop break thru bleeding. It could be used safely to treat other symptoms also. Their are other long acting options like mirena (levonorgestrel) or nexplanon if you continue to have problems. Hope this helps.
