What Causes Prolonged Delay In Periods Despite Taking Depo Provera?
My doctor told me to switch birth controls because the current method im taking (depo provera injection) has began to take its toll on my body and I m not fully developed. I ve been on the shot since I was 16 and I am now 20. He told me I need estrogen in my body since I only had my period a year before I got the shot. I like having no periods... But I also need a long lasting birth control method... But I also need estrogen in my body too... I need to know the best option for me... But I m so stuck on what s right for me right now
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, taking hormone therapy without any pathological reason or it is not the disease condition then it could cause many side effects later or sooner and it is not at all advisable to take this, even it would be more harmful in young age, take care and hope this information helps.
