-- Posted by panagma at 4:20 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 I'm on this injection contraception called de povera (i think).. Is any girl here on that and if you are, are some of the symptoms really bad mood swings, skin break outs and does your period stop?? Thanks -- Posted by Public Enemy 69 at 4:21 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Depo Provera dear. Youre taking it and you dont know what its called? -- Posted by Tubbz at 4:21 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 They're fairly common side effects yes. -- Posted by emopenguinqueen at 4:22 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 is it like the implant? anyway, most BC like that can cause mood swings and affect your period...mostly its different for each person. some girls periods stops, some get heavier, some irregular. if unsure, consult doctor that gave it to you, they should have told you all the side effects from it anyway. -- Posted by panagma at 4:22 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Quote: from Rabgix at 4:21 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Depo Provera dear.

My doctors writing is impossible to read.. -- Posted by BackPorch at 4:25 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Definitely sounds like common side effects -- Posted by islandgirl at 2:11 am on Jan. 3, 2009 In a lot of women depo causes periods to stop all together. Like most hormonal contraception it can cause mood differences, weight gain, and a whole host of things that may OR may not happen. I really suggest talking to your Dr. about the side effects- it can cause bone loss so it's important to be taking enough calcium and vitamin D (you can talk to your dr. about this as well) This is a VERY effective form of birth control, but it's important to know the side effects and your doctor should really explain better than we can.
