In response to Depo is horrilbe posted by bly1020:
Hi Bly
Couldn't agree with you more, depo is the work of the devil.
However all is not lost, if the regular birth control methods are not working for you, maybe that is a good thing, maybe your body has a good internal communication system and is getting the message across rather than letting you succumb to long term poisoning by the filth that medical physicians are handing out.
It sounds like you are in a good and loving relationship, well done, natural family planning methods can help to strenghten that relationship by recognising and respecting both parties fertility, it is after all the thing that magnetises us to one another in the first place.
The one more soul website has more information on this www.omsoul.com keep in mind that natural family planning is up to 99% effective costs very little and repays long term in the love and respect that you generate for one another by putting self love first.
Regular family planning methods are just annuity bonds to the pharmacy and the pharmacy is the only one who benefits from you stamping out your fertility.
You might be able to put the money you save into going for a nice meal or some sexy underware!!
Have fun!!

» NZsuze - Depo is a curse.
I had 1 shot of depo and had nothing - no period, no pain, no moodiness - it was just what you'd want in a contraceptive. But then I thought how natural is it to not have a period? No cleansing of the uterus for 3 months - YUCK. So I didn't have it again.
I am one of the lucky ones. I wish to thank all you women who share your stories and bare your souls to the masses. It is great that women can poole together and help/support one another.
Marymo - I have read 2 posts by you tonight on 2 separate forums and I am sorry to hear how negative you are towards your fellow sisters. Abusing people's spelling? Saying the ultrasound should be of their head? Where's your compassion and understanding? You strike me as having alternative beliefs - yet you are derrogatory towards others and this is inconsistent. Am I wrong?

NZ medical doctor's are supposed to have compassion my innuendo is to point out to people: beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing.
It is very relevant the fact that somebody who has difficulty spelling is being asked to make long term decisions about their health.
It is very relevant that the women on this board should be looking to improve themselves rather than being a sterile objects with irregular cycles.
With regard my comment to IUD about getting the scan, the fact is that, that person was more concerned about having a scan than the long term gift of her fertility that she had sacrificed. Women used to be valued for their fertility and in some cultures they still are, it is beyond my capacity to reason that someone would be more concerned with a scan than the fact that a major bodily function had ceased to exist.
I have posts on other boards if you are interested to read more of what I have to say, where are you based?

In response to your opinion posted by samdenton:
I have written lots of dietary information on this on preceeding entries if you look back through them you might be able to find something of use. Main point focus on you diet and eat lots of sardines and hemp seeds the essential fatty acids help the body to restore health, and cheer up all is not lost, pumpkin seeds and brazil nuts are also good for sex drive. Boost yourself and your libido will return.

» desperate23 - now on deprovera and worried...
'm glad that I've found this forum because my gyno seems very inexperienced with handling my symptoms. I would really appreciate it if any of you who has had similar symptoms could share some insight. I am a 23 yr old who is about six pounds overweight but otherwise healthy.
Here's my problem: During the last two years, almost every period, I have become incapacitated. Read- vomitting a good amount of food, having diarhea, suffering hot flashes, feeling as if I have some sort of very painful, sickening blood disease in my uterine area. I have tried not eating the day before my period starts, and that does not help. Regular exercise does not make a significant difference, either. Those symptoms happen during the first two days of my period. I do not suffer from cramps. When I did once suffer from cramps, it was my appendix bursting. During the two days I suffer those symptoms, the only way I stop myself from screaming bloody murder is staying in a warm bathtub, which helps some. I have had to miss Easter brunch with the family, skip studying for a mid-term college exam, and stay at home instead of going on a mini-retreat with friends because of those problems.
Here's the treatment: I was recently on Estrostep birth control to treat those symptoms for three or four months. It hardly helped; I still felt very sick and was incapacitated. The only difference was that in addition to the severe sickness, I felt a sharp pain where my right ovary is, the day or two before my period began. Now, I am on DeproVera. I recieved my first shot Sept. 8th. I am very worried about the mood swings and depression that some of you have complained of, as I think I have a pre-disposition to those. My gyno did not inform me of those when I asked about side effects. So far, I have not had any spotting.
Again, have any of you suffered similar symptoms? How have you coped? My gyno does not seem to have treated anyone with my symptoms, and she does not seem to make much of an effort to find doctors who have successfully treated women with my symptoms or doing other research. I know every woman's body is different, but I would really appreciate reading others' experiences.
Thanks in advance!

» PutASmileOn - Depo Makes Me Bitchy
I started Depo April 20 2006, After getting the shot I had been feeling so sick! I did no know the side effects then the only thing I knew is that you gain weight. I did not know this stuff makes you feel like you pregnant(which my boyfriend and I thought I was).I do not get the sick feeling anymore I still get the major headaches!
Plus I had been acting like bitch, asscioates of mine says that I mean all the time! But I am a really nice person! I'm glad I did the research on this stuff. But what is in it that makes me so bitchy?
