They can't force you to have another one. I gave up after 2 injections as I bled constantly and put on loads of weight. Could you find a family planning clinic for the implant?

Or would a coil be an option for you?

depo is awful stuff. it's used for chemical castration too here

i was on it a few years ago and it was hellish for me.

no one can force you to have any medical procedure, except for a court.

if you don't want it then don't go back for it.

where is this draconian place you live that forces you to have this injection??
