"depo-provera has changed my life. i am now period and yeast infection free. which is a huge deal for someone who has suffered from yeast infections 1x a month for the past 4 years as well as heavy painful periods. haven&#039;t had a period since my first shot which was 7 weeks ago. i am a healthy 28 year old, aside from suffering from migraines. i have not had any side effects from depo-provera, no acne, hair loss, weight gain, etc."
