Does anybody know if there is a birth control just as effective and safe as depoprovera...?

Question

That has the same risk of stroke as depoprovera?

Answer 1

The risk is the same. Any birth control method that has estrogen in it, has the low risk of causing a stroke. There IS something called a mini-pill, which has no estrogen in it, but is less effective from protecting you from pregnancy and NEEDS to be taken at the same time daily.

Answer 2

Talk to your GYN about it.  I took the depo and it was the worst thing I ever did!  I gained a massive amount of weight and had depression issues as well (which I wasn't aware were a result of the depo) Good thing you are off it!!!!
