5 years ago following the birth of my 5th child, my doctor suggested this method as a permenent birth controll. I agreed and received a depoprovera shot a month in advanc, then had the procedure. It was followed by excruciating pain that just got worse. Following an allergy test a few weeks later, it turns out I was having an allergic reaction, so at 30, I had a Partial hysterectomy. During the folowing 2 years I was treated for numerous ovarian cysts from the depo shot. I still have pain and intimacy issues post hysterectomy.
