I have been on Depo for about a year now. i didnt look into it at all before i got on it. Now i wish i would of. Allot of people have told me bad things about it like it can make you to were you cant have kids, it can cause cancer in the uterus, and your body will never be the same if you try to get off it. is all this true? i never had a problem with it till my second time goin in to get the shot, after that i have had cramps about every day. I knew that wasnt right. i went in for a yearly pap about 3 months ago and the called to say that my test came back abnormal. i really hope everything is ok, but is there anybody that has had the same thing happen to them? should i get off depo? if anybody could help me that would be great, thanks.
Hi jordansgurl, welcome to A2K.
Find out what's up with the abnormal pap smear first -- where do things stand now? Presumably there will be some sort of follow-up?
hi jordan,
First off, I want you to know that abnormal results are very common. Most of the time, it is nothing.
Definetly find out what's up re:test results. Find out what's going on with your body. Jump right in there and don't be afraid. I have found that it is always better to know; less scary that way.
I have never been on dep. myself, but have a lot of friends who have/are. Some of them were not happy with it, so they switched to another form of bc after speaking to their doctor.
Talk it over with you doctor. Hope everything works out.
