Hi there,

I know that you can get Depo Provera in the daily pill form, Provera. Since it is basically the same thing your doctor should be happy about prescribing you that instead - and you can take it continuously if you want to as well. I haven't been on it myself, but one of my friends has, and for her it had minimal side effects. Hope this helps!
