Classic case of denial

In an article called Group warns about failed birth control, the director of the Westchester Planned [anti-]Parenthood office offers her brilliant analysis of why two women on Depo Provera got pregnant.

"'We don't know how these women got pregnant,'" Ms Winjum said."

We are under the impression that the Depo shot was not the cause.

I am left wondering if these women got all the bad side effects without the "desired" suppression of a woman's natural cycle.

My name is Janice Still and i would like to show you my personal experience with Depo-Provera.

I am 24 years old. I have been on Depo for 9 years and did not realize that the symptoms I experienced might be related to the shot. I am now facing thousands of dollars in dental work due to bone density loss, and will probably end up with osteoporosis. I am getting off Depo and will never touch it again!

I have experienced some of these side effects-
Low libido, joint pain, bone density loss, dental problems, headaches, fatigue, out of control eating, gained 40 lbs., depression

I hope this information will be useful to others,
