I have to stop getting my Depoprovera shot because my insurance doesn't cover any of it and it is just too expensive ($92/shot). So, I was due for my shot I think by November 10 and I won't be getting it. I had an appointment with my Dr. for the first, but she was sick and I had to reschedule to the 15th.
Anyway, I know that a few of you have been on it and stopped and I was wondering what I can expect? I've been on it for 5 years, no periods in that time. How long before I get one again? I understand it can be heavy, but how long does that first one usually last?
Also, I will obviously be switching methods to something I can have prescribed. (How dumb is that? They cover BC in the prescription plan, but since Depo was a Dr.'s Office thing they won't cover it at all.) I am pretty much planning on going on the pill, but I know there are alternatives. Anyone have experience with these?
