I have not seen this particular problem, and have read in multiple reviews of Depo-provera that it actually INCREASES the amount of breastmilk (the only reference I have at hand on purporting this is the latest edition of Speroff et al). The problem I see very often with Depo is that if you give it immediately postpartum there is a very high propensity to spot every day. The patients show up in the clinic for their 6 week checkup and want the Depo discontinued. I know many others who "report" this anecdotally, and I now am discouraged from giving it immediately postpartum. Thanks, Ashley Hill D. Ashley Hill, M.D. dahmd@gate.net Orlando, FL

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
