Implanon and Depo-Provera (1 Viewer)

[jesscookie]

Ive had an implanon since February this year, and quite frankly, it shits me. I was wondering if anyone has had the Depo-Provera 3monthly shots, and were happy/not happy with them???

explain what it is ?is that the implant contaceptive thing???????

 

[jesscookie]

yes implanon is the little rod inserted into your arm, depo-provera is an injection. they are both progesterone only hormone thingys

so why u annoyed by it? why do u want it u are so young???? its not right i believe, that my opinion then again I dont believe in sex before marriage so take that anyway u want

 

[jesscookie]

it was supposed to stop my periods for the three or so years that it lasts for, but it did the opposite. If you do not have anything constructive to ad, why put your opinion here?

 

[froggy_chik87]

i didn't think it was meant to stop your periods, i thought it was just enough pregestorone to make you infertile while it is in your arm. But no sorry, i've never had the injections...

I've never had either, although my sister-in-law has the Depo-Provera needles and absolutely swears by them (she somehow managed to get pregnant with my niece whilst on the Pill, lol)

I'm on the Pill, and I quite like it, but if it doesn't work for you, I say take the Implanon out and give the Depo-Provera a go, the worst that can happen is that it doesn't work.

that's a pretty extreme worst

 

[hipsta_jess]

True. But I mean, at our age, most people would still combine their contraceptive measures, (ie, Depo-Provera and condoms) so its unlikely she would fall pregnant. And in terms of stopping menstruation, well, the Implanon is already failing to do that, so its not like she'd be going back a step.

But you're having evil sinful premarital sex and her religion dictates that she must force her beliefs onto you!

Im not on any form of hormonal birth control so I can't speak from personal experience but I do know of people who took the depo shots and their periods never stopped....one girl I knew literally bled for 6 months.

If you're looking to stop your periods have you tried Seasonale? (I don't know if this is what is called in Australia)....its the one where you only have your period 4 times a year as opposed to 11 or 12.

Technically you can do this with any monophasic pill... although I imagine most doctors won't recommend it, and I guess it does depend on what sort of pill you're on (I suppose there are differences?)

Yeah Ive read you can do it with any pill.

I think it takes your body awhile to adjust anyway, and you get breakthrough bleeding for the first few months.

Apparently its not unhealthy to skip a few periods though, Im told 4 a year is plenty.

I couldn't go without periods though, they give me peace of mind that there isn't a baby on the way!

thank you everyone, except Philomena 86, you have all had good input. I shall take into account what has been said, and ponder slightly

what kind of gyno is your uncle?
gynos actually recomend and prescribe the pill to girls. what if they have a medical problem, i.e, ovarian cysts and need the pill to stop them? then what? since thats what i have, i prefer to stay on the pill then do whatever to my reproductive system as what you said. and so far so good, its not screwy.


and to the person who started this thread - ive havent had the injection or the rod, but ive heard stories of the rod getting lost in the arm and breaking in half. not sure if they are true or not, but hey, thats what i have heard a few girls say at school.
hope that helps you some more.
