If you're on depo do you still get menstrual symptoms?
Yes! Women on Depo Provera have a decreased risk of endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and pelvic inflammatory disease. You may have less menstrual cramping and pain, fewer periods, and less chance of anemia. ChaCha on, friend.

About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a cancer that starts in the female reproductive glands, called the ovaries, where the ova (eggs) are produced. Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer and is the leading cause of death in female reproductive cancers. The more children a woman has could decrease her risk of developing ovarian cancer. Women with either a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer also have a higher risk for ovarian cancer.
