[~MS~]

Coming into the convo a bit late, but put me in the go see a OB/Gyn and discuss it with someone who 'specializes' in the field. I don't have to worry/deal with the issue but I have to make the decisions for Brandy and right now we have her on Depo, she's one of the really lucky ones that she has no period, none, I schedule her shot exactly 12 weeks apart to the day and she doesn't even have a mild discharge, she still PMS's a bit each month and it's more noticible the month she is due to get her shot. As for the no period issue, the three specialists we consulted over her all agreed. There really is no "need" for any of us to cycle and bleed unless we're actively attempting to get pregnant. The b/c of choice be it pill or shot or novo ring all create a balance that eliminates the 'need'. Having said that, I also know that the docs were very agressive in checking Brandys total chem pannels and blood levels the first couple of years we put her on the shot due to the potential interaction with her other medications.
