I read that there are studies that have tried to link PCOS to Depo-Provera users. I took depo for 5 years in my 20’s. After seeing numerous drs and specialist I was diagnosed with PCOS at 35 (now 43). Just wondering how many of you also used depo.

Good afternoon all,
I’ve had PCOS for the last16 years and have been on 1,000 mg metformin for insulin resistance and Yaz now Nikki birth control to help with my cysts and hormones. Added in lexapro a couple years ago to help with fluctuating high highs and low lows. Is anyone else on this combination or taking any of the 3.

My doctor prescribed me the depo shot, to stop my longated periods, my problem with the depo is that it’s giving me a lot of pain not only that is it really good for someone who has a hormonal problem to take the depo? Is it ok to not have your period at all?

I was diagnosed with PCOS and mild endometriosis in 2022. My periods have been irregular for a while now, I think it’s been around 3 months since my last period. However, for the last 4 weeks, I have spotted every day (red blood upon wiping, not enough to fill a pad) anyone else in a similar situation?

I got started on the depo shot about 3 weeks ago and my acne has been insane ever since. Not just in the chin area, but my entire face is starting to break out. I have oily skin, but have never struggled like this before. What are some tips/tricks I could use?

I've only recently Ben diagnosed after trying to conceive. I had a misscarage in September 2017 and have struggled with irregular periods since. Still not seen a gynaecologist. I was on birth control for 6 years straight (implant) then 6 months on Depo jag and I put my irregular periods down to this. I'm 2 stone overweight and struggling to shift he weight. Bloods show my LH is far too high compared to FSH. Testosterone also high

I got my first Depo shot over three months ago; I just got my second shot today. Meanwhile, this is the 33rd consecutive day that I've had my period. I don't know if I can continue with the shot if this carries on or happens at the end of this round too. Has anyone else experienced this?? Is it just a one-time uterine lining liquidation sale or is it recurrent?

My dr said an IUD wouldn’t cause weight gain but I gained ten pounds in the first month of having it. I’ve now had it for a little over a year and have put on about 25pounds. Now I wasn’t eating very good or working out so I’m not blaming it all on that. However I’ve been doing an hour of cardio almost everyday and eating mostly chicken and vegetables and haven’t been able to lose anything. Has anyone else experienced this?
