Advantages: Free, Reliable contraception

Disadvantages: After long useage could have side effects

The Depo-Provera injection is a reliable long term contraception. It stops pregnancy in 3 main ways; by preventing release of the egg, preventing sperm entering the womb, and making the womb less receptive for any fertilised eggs to implant into. Getting the injection is simple and free, make an appointment with your nurse. This injection lasts for 3 months and heres some good news, you don't get a period! I've not had a period for over a year now. The depo injection has so far been the best contraceptive for me, I used to forget to take the pill some times, but with this, you don't have that worry!

I know, if you're anything like me, you'll be thinking 'stopping my periods completely surely can't be that healthy', i used to think that, but have a word with your nurse or GP and they will reasure you that your period will be back to normal after a few months of stopping the injection.

Like all hormonal contraceptives, there can be side effects, such as weight gain (as can the pill), however, your nurse keeps track of your weight every time you get the injection (I, myself haven't put on weight, so doesn't happen to everyone!). With long term use of this injection, and I'm talking years, theres an increased chance of osteoporosis due to the decrease of oestorgen levels caused by the depo injection, but your nurse/GP will talk you through all this.

Anyway, it is definately a contraception i'd recommend. If you're looking for a long term contraceptive and don't want to have to remember a pill, or don't want the commitment of three years by having the implant, then this is the perfect choice.

Please remember, it does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, so stay safe.

Summary: Long term reliable contraceptive
