Question
I was just wondering how i would go about changing from Depo-Provera to the pill, as i bleed constantly on the injection

Answer
Hello Rachel,
I would strongly urge you to consult with your doctor about this. I'm not a medical doctor but I don't recommend any method of birth control except condoms (not very effective) or Natural Family Planning. I don't believe that any of the other methods are healthy for a woman's body. You can get more info from the other expert under birth control, Ramona, on NFP method. I believe depo-provera has a lot of side effects, of which you are experiencing one of these side effects. The pill is hormonal also and has risks to your health and side effects. If you want to talk more about different methods, just email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.
