I dont know if its exactly healthier for you, but I can tell you about my experience with depo.
I was on it for a year, have since gained about 90 lbs, have calcified spots on my thyroid and a cyst on my ovary, which can all be attributed to the shot.
Not only that but it caused a severe decrease in my libido and crazy emotional status.
While I was on the shot I only bled every 3 months when I was due for my next shot. After I got off the shot I bled for about 3 months straight, severe bleeding with severe cramping and clotting. After about 8-9 months my period FINALLY started to regulate itself.
Over a year after getting off the shot I still havent been able to loose the weight, probably because of the thyroid issue, but my sex drive is back and my emotional/mental status is back on track.
Anytime I hear of anyone thinking of going on the shot or who is on it I try to discourage their decision simply because I dont want them to go through what I and MANY others have gone through.
These problems I had are not the only ones that are possible with the shot.
I was on the pill years ago for a little while and had no problems with it, other than forgetting to take it.
get on the pill.... It is also damaging to your teeth and bones. Google "depo Provera lawsuit" and you will see some scary stuff
