Everyone else had major problems with it. It's all about how your body handles certin forms of hormones, I think its so different for everyone. I feel lucky that I like and didn't have problems with the first type that I tried

I just found out that the only type of hormone in Depo is Projesterone (sp?). That made me feel better about the shot. I've been on it for two and half years.
I don't really want to derail this thread, but no one mentioned being on a copper IUD. This is something I'm interested in. It lasts ten years, no hormones (yay!), the only downfall is the surgery and the price (Planned Parenthood wants $250, but I guess that would be 15 months on Depo for me so no biggie). If anyone has any info, I would appreciate it. Especially about the pain, infection, overall risk factor? Thanks gals.
