there are plenty of potential side-effects of depo provera but that does not mean you will get them. before chosing any hormonal form of contraception you need to see a medical provider or planned parenthood so you can learn about all of the available methods for you and the one that would be best for you. you can read all about depo provera on-line. your boyfriend should not be chosing your contraceptive method just because he does not like to use condoms. condoms do more than just prevent unwanted pregnancies. they help prevent sexually-transmitted diseases. depo doesn't do that. i vote that yoru boyfriend continues with those condoms until you decide the best contraceptive (and std prevention) method for you.
my boyfriend suggested the depo shot so we could eliminate condoms. and im worried about side effects. is it safe? . ive researched the pros and cons and many people talk about weight gain or bad cramps and the sex is worse. i'd like to get medical advice on the shot
