At the recent
International Conferenceon
Depo-Provera®, Dr. Emily Roberts, Associate Professor, from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Houston, discussed the current state of contraceptive availability and research on preventing pregnancy.
Recent evidence indicates that, in the United States, the contraceptive method used to prevent pregnancy is not suitable or effective. Many women use other methods of contraception (e.g. condoms) to prevent pregnancy, including:
To make your decision about using Depo-Provera, it’s important to choose the right method. While it’s effective, it can take several months for the ovaries to be fully ready for ovulation.
To determine the most suitable method, it’s best to use a vaginal suppository (one of the many ways to get pregnant)
Once you’ve chosen the best method, you can inject the hormones into the vagina using an injection pump that is inserted into the vagina (see image below).
Once the injection is in place, you can inject the hormones into the uterus and uterus lining.
Once the injection is inserted into the uterus, you’ll have a vaginal suppository to help reduce the likelihood of fertilization. If you want to take the injection more often, you can use the suppository as a backup method.
The injection is also effective in preventing pregnancy. If you’re considering a long term method of contraception (e.g. Depo-Provera® 104 injection, Lunesta®), you may consider using a backup method.
Like all medications, Depo-Provera is generally well tolerated and carries a risk of side effects. Common side effects include:
If you experience any of these side effects, contact your healthcare provider. They may be able to adjust your contraceptive method or help you avoid pregnancy.
When your healthcare provider takes care of your contraceptive method, you’ll take this injection, using the Depo-Provera® pump that comes with your prescription.
Typically, you have the injection in place by placing it in the vagina. This may not be the most convenient method, but it’s still effective in preventing pregnancy.
Once you’ve chosen the best method, you can use your Depo-Provera pump to administer the injection.
During the menstrual cycle, it’s important to ovulate regularly (within about four weeks).
It’s best to ovulate after a period. Ovulation can be irregular, and it can take several days for the egg to mature and release into the fallopian tubes. Your doctor will usually start you on the lowest dose and increase it after the next period.
Once your doctor has prescribed Depo-Provera, your next period will typically be in the same order. This will help you get the most benefit from the medication.
