Medroxyprogesterone
"I've been on Depo for about 9 months now, it seemed like the perfect solution to heavy bleeding and unbearable cramping. I think the doctor forgot to mention that I would bleed NONSTOP for months. (I'm still bleeding) Going on it was the worst decision of my life. Also, my family is high risk for ovarian cancer, my doctor was worried about cysts before I went on the shot, and now I'm fearing that if I didn't already have them when I started Depo I have them now. Please stay away from this. The worst part is I'm only 18 and I am now at an even higher risk for breast and ovarian cancer."
