Comming Off Depro-proveraFrom: Anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 08 May 1997 17:54:56 -0500
Hi. I had an abortion in October and at my month check up decided to have a depro-provera shot while my partner and I decided how we wanted to handle our birth control. Ever since the shot, I have had irregular periods and very long (3 weeks) periods, mood swings, weight gain, and hot flashes (which I experienced even before I became pregnant) all of which are normal side-effects apparently. The depro was supposed to be out of my system by February. I have had 2 periods since then, including my current one which started 3 weeks ago today and which shows no signs of stopping any time soon. It actually got heavier yesterday and I've been feeling pretty weak and crampy. In addition, these last 2 weeks I have been having anxiety attacks at night that have kept me from sleeping and am now starting to have them during the day. I do have an appointment tomorrow afternoon. 1) I started menstruating when I was 10 and am afraid that I may be beginning an early menopause. 2) Both my Mom and Grandma had hysterectomies around my age (27), and this may be a symptom leading to one. 3) Could I have an hormonal imbalance related to having an abortion and immediately going onto birth control? 4) Can this be considered "hemorrhaging"? 5) I've only been to this ob/gyn once before. She seems nice, but I'm afraid that she may not be the best info resource (a fear I have about most doctors). Thanks for your help. Jessica anonymous@obgyn.net
