Im sorry you are going through such aweful times. Its hard to hear
other people pregnant when its so difficult for us. Yes, it was pretty
harsh to say, but you are in pain right now and we all say things we may
not mean. Hopefully, he will understand that and forgive what was said.
As for the depo (thats the implant right?), if its new in her blood
stream, then yes it can take a bad effect and yes I have heard about it
from others on the net. If its nearing the end, then the chances are
smaller. She should have them removed immediately. This is why I hate
this particular BC because its uncontrollable. BC goes wrong sometimes
and its harder to control when its implanted in your arm. What if you
had a bad reaction to the drug? I dont know why anyone goes for this
drug. BC is not 100% effective except abstance.
