A member asked:
Been on the depo-provera shot for three years and i have had terrible side effects and was wondering if there is anyway to stop the shots "medicine" midcycle?

Nope: Just don't get another one when you are scheduled. I'm not a Depo-Provera fan either. Weight gain and increased osteoporosis risk, and many times continued irregular spotting. :p ask your doc about options when the time comes so you can be prepared.
