Does Depo-Provera Injection Cause Emotional Outbursts?
My girlfriend got the Depo-Provera injection recently, already it has destroyed our sex drive, I ll make a move when I think the signals are green ad she ll burst out crying, screaming she doesn t want to. I m scared this could end our relation if we have another three months of this! I understand that there s no way around this, but I want to know why the doctor didn t tell us the side effects, we were assured she d lose her period but that was it. That never happened and she s an emotional wreck.
