Depo-Provera is 99.7% effective.
Not only is Depo-Provera 99.7% effective, but
you need just one shot on time every 3 months
to stay pregnancy-protected. So, unlike the Pill,
Depo-Provera isn't your every day birth control.
Depo-Provera doesn't protect you from HIV/AIDS
or other sexually transmitted diseases.
Some women using Depo-Provera experience
side effects. The most common are irregular
periods or spotting. Many women stop having
periods altogether after a few months and some
may experience a slight weight gain. You shouldn't
use Depo-Provera if you could be pregnant, if
you have had any unexplained periods, or if you
have a history of breast cancer, blood clots,
stroke, or liver disease. When using Depo-Provera,
there may be a possible decrease in bone density.
Ask your health care professional about prescription
Depo-Provera.
Birth control you think about just 4 times a year.
