Hi all, just looking for some advice or maybe what to expect.
I've been on the Depo Provera contraceptive since I was around 20 years old. I'm 46 now.
I had a break from it at 27 and 31 to have my two children and then went straight back on it.
I've started to notice some possible menopausal symptoms, but it's difficult to know when I'm on the jab.
Honestly, I also would just like to have a break from the hormones after such a long time.
With the Depo you just stop taking it, and I was just wondering if anyone else had done the same and what to expect from it, especially now that I'm probably at menopause age too.
Any advice or recommendations welcome.
I'll also need to consider alternative non-hormonal contraception.
I'm going to look into some calcium and vitamin D supplements as I know it's probably had an effect on my bone health, which I'm keen to reverse as much as possible.
Thanks 😊
