	Depo-Provera (3-Month Shot) - from www.Birth-Control-Comparison.info from Cedar River Clinics
		Depo Provera is a very private form of birth control because it cannot be seen on the body and requires no home supplies.
		Depo Provera may not be recommended for women who are planning on becoming pregnant in the near future, are concerned about weight gain, have liver disease, gallbladder disease, or a history of depression.
		Depo is not recommended for long term use and especially not recommended when the young woman is still growing her bones.

	Depo Provera Information
		However, there is a strong relationship between the use of Depo Provera and the development of osteoporosis.
		The letter goes on to state that it is unknown if use of Depo Provera during adolescence or early adulthood, a critical period of bone accretion, will reduce peak bone mass and increase the risks of hip and joint fractures in later life.
		Even though Pfizer acknowledges that the danger of Depo Provera during adolescence and early adulthood is completely unknown, they continue to actively promote the product to younger women.

	Depo-Provera Approved: Lessons for the Future
		Since Depo has the potential to be misused and its effects remain in the body beyond three months, it should not be a first-choice contraceptive, but considered only after all other alternatives are explored.
		While the data on Depo and breast cancer is more reassuring for longer term users, there is a significant, unexplained risk for younger women who were recent users of Depo and took it for a short period of time.
		In particular, young women considering Depo should be asked about risk factors for breast cancer, but health care providers and clients must recognize that young women cannot easily be screened or monitored for breast cancer through mammography or breast self exam.

	Depo Provera Side Effects
		After the last injection of Depo Provera, a significant side effect is that it takes an average of 9 to 12 months to become pregnant.
		Researchers in England found that women using long term Depo Provera injections for birth control are more likely to have low bone mass density than women who opt for other birth control methods.
		However, it appears that bone density improves when a woman stops Depo Provera (if it’s prior to menopause or before 40 years of age) and in general, the risk of low bone density does not increase the longer it is used.
