Hello, I have had the injections and they were fine just did not last the full 3 months and wore off after about 2.5 months. I now take provera in pill form 3 times a day which keep me pain free so recommended.

Thank you. Nice to read about a positive experience. Internet is full of horror stories mainly.

I took “Depo-Provera” injection at age 18-23 I’m 42 now. Stopped due to acne (mild) that may have had nothing to do with the Depo. I didn’t know I had endo back then. Endo pain started at 14 but not diagnosed until age 33. I took Depo as birth control. In hindsight I can honestly say I had no endo pain on Depo. And it came back pretty soon after I stopped taking it.
