Can the Depo Provera shot cause PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)?

Im sure any form of birth control and heredity can cause this but do a serach on side effects and ask a planned parent hood clinic and or doctor who prescribed ur medication let doctor know ur concerns and if it is to find something else and they have other birth control measures and options with less or no side effects .

Yes, from what I have heard from women who have had bad expereinces, it can be the cause of a host of problems. Some ladies are okay, others are not with it.

I have learned that black women have a harder time with BC methods, I don't know why, but they can react more easily and have worse side-effects, and sometimes the BC doesn't work, even when used according to directions. If you are black. you might want to do some research into that!

One lady I know had constant bleeding, heavy spotting all month long, and crusty, painfully swollen nipples for three entire months after the shot. I would not go there! I'm not sure what causes the reaction, but I don't think it's a safe BC method for the majority of women. I'd try the NUVA Ring, easy, safe, once a month, and fairly cheap. I have been using it for two years, and no negative side effects and I am in my 40's, where it's a bit harder to find the right BC that is safe!

Hey I just answered something like this earlier, but for you, I'll answer it again. Basics: PCOS at the root of it's name it's a bunch of cysts on your ovaries. Not always the case for all women with it, but cysts happen. It can cause infertility, weird hair growth, high androgen levels, low estrogen levels, abnormal or absent menstrual cycles, moodswings, can be a factor in becoming a diabetic, and can be a factor in weight problems, overall a really scary mess. What you should know that isn't scary: Yes, women with PCOS can have children. I'm sure that's not a 100% rate, but they CAN. There are the lucky ones who just end up pregnant and then there are the ones who have to try treatments to conceive. Of course, there are women without PCOS that can't have children either. But I do personally know a couple of women that got pregnant without "trying" You can control your symptoms. The three easiest ways are diet, exercise, and birth control. Basically, if you're overweight, lose some. Even if it is 2 pounds, every pound you take off will make your symptoms lessen. You have to watch your diet now because becoming diabetic would not be cool for anyone. I'm not talking about going on the Adkins or South Beach Diets, just maintain a healthy diet. Don't overload on carbs, but don't eliminate them either. Birth control is great because I don't know about you, but I would go 10 months without a period, and then when I'd get one I'd be out of my mind with moodswings, head to toe pain, cramps from the depths of hell, and I would be absolutely MISERABLE. Now I'm on the lowest dose birth control which is NuvaRing and I have no complaints. I have a regular cycle, I don't have the moodswings like I did before, and although I still get cramps that suck, they are much better than they were. Regulating your period is very important. I read that not having a regular cycle creates a hostile environment for conception. The birth control also stops new cysts from forming if you have any. I've had 2 that caused problems, but I wasn't taking any birth control then, I've been on this one for almost 11 months now and I haven't had any cyst problems (knock on wood). You're probably going to be fine as long as you start making adjustments now. Personally, I would try to even out all my symptoms and make sure my body is in check before I would start trying to have a baby right now, I don't know where you are in life, I'm only 23 and not trying to have a kid. You just got this diagnosis and the best thing would be to research all you can and make decisions that best suit you. Every symptom doesn't match every person. Before you do anything though, make sure you read everything you can, read message boards, but take things with a grain of salt. Just because Jane can't seem to get pregnant doesn't mean you won't. There is a ton more I could go on about, but I don't know how much of my lovely personal life you'd want to read about. But just to make you feel a little better, here's the phone call I got from my doctor's office when I found out... "Hello" "Hello, this is so-and-so from Dr What's-Her-Name's office, I have your test results back and they are consistent with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Just stay on that medicine that the doctor gave you and if you ever want to get pregnant give us a call. Bye." Note: The medicine they gave me was a high dose birth control pill that made me have moodswings similar to the ones I described earlier and I was 20. Please tell me your doctor was at least nice about it. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail or message me. kickasspunkmonkeys is my yahoo id if it doesn't show up.

I thik PCOS is when the eggs do not eject from the ovaries. I think Depo Provera prevents ovulation.

If a person has PCOS she should be on birth control pills to help her body get on a cycle. Depo Provera would do the opposite and cause her not to have her period for a long time. It took me a year to get my period with only one shot.
