To reduce my level of bleeding from depo-provera provera, (medroxyprogesterone) would skyla or nexplanon be a better option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirena (levonorgestrel): If your goal is to decrease bleeding or eliminate it the Mirena (levonorgestrel) has the best bleeding profile -- better than the ones you mentioned.
