When I was young (and naive) I went onto the ortho evra patch because I became sexually active. I noticed no promblems in my body from it but both of my sisters became angry and violent and had to stay away from it. I was using the patch for almost 9 years until they discontinued it because of all the sicknesses and deaths that were connected to it. I switched to the ortho pill about 9 months ago. Since then, I have gained 20lbs. I am getting horrible acne that I can't seem to control no matter how well I eat (with lots of probiotics) and no matter what natural remedy I use ( acv, coconut oil, etc. internally and externally).
I used to get about one or two pimples once a month but now I have at least ten at one time. I wake up with two to three new pimples every morning.
Before starting the pill, I received bladder infections regularly with three that turned into kidney infections with the help of antibiotics. I had learned to control and heal them with lemon water and was free of any uti for a year. When I started taking the pill, NOTHING could stop them! I've tried everything including acv, cranberry pills, lemon water, uva ursi ect. along with an alkaline diet and no sugar, carbs, or dairy.
I have decided to stop taking the bc pill as of yesterday and today was the first day I woke up with NO new pimples. I will be trying a natural method to prevent babies. I strongly suggest than every woman look into the BILLINGS METHOD! It's time to tune into our bodies instead of relying on dangerous methods that have harmed more women than we know. Let's be aware of our fertility instead of running from it! I hope this will help someone!
Your friend, Noelle

Although Dr John Billings has now passed away he and his wife Dr Evelyn Billings
legacy lives on. This method has been scientifically proven but Drs still give the pill to girls and young women to supposedly help their cycle, even though most never do blood tests first to see which should be prescribed.There is also a small gadget called 'Maybe Baby' it is the size of a lipstick and is a small microscope. You wake up in the morning and first thing you do is put a smear of spit on the lens and leave to dry for a couple of minutes. You then look at it and it will show up as fern leaves if you are about to or are ovulating. I bought mine at the chemist but a search online will give you more info. It has been known for a few decades that womens saliva put under the microscope could show when they are ovulating, so now you can get what is really just a mini microscope the size of a lipstick. This really does work so you can either avoid sex during your fertile time or use a condom. If trying to get pregnant then you know your ovulating time.

I hate how health professionals keep important information from their patients! People make so much fuss over erectile dysfunction but what about women! It is important for women to enjoy sex as well!

The bone density test revealed that I was okay in my spine (which I doubt) but my hip was affected. The hormone test according to my OB/GYN showed that I was still fertile. Since I had refuse to take another injection, my OB/GYN suggested I have a coil. I refused and said I will take my chances.
My first course of action was to stop smoking. I have not smoked in over 5 years. I started taking Ted's ACV/BS remedy to start trying to lose th is weight and start getting rid of this toxens from the Depo Provera shot. I went back to my family doctor, who by the way, sent me to this OB/GYN, and reported to him what was going on with me and this doctor. He was shocked that I was on the Depo for so long and stated that I wasn't suppose to be on that shot for over 3 years. I complained that I was experiencing pain in my back and that I have did a symptom check on WebMD and revealed that I had Sciatica. My family doctor took x-rays and revealed that yes indeed, I had a bone hitting on nerve in my back causing the sciatica. He immediately scheduled me for a MRI. The MRI revealed that this bone (or spir or something, I can't remember what he called it) in my spine was touching this nerve and recommended back surgery. I said No to this doctor and have not seen a doctor since. That was five year ago. Since then I have been taking care of myself through stretches, Earth Clinic and the internet websites.
My questions is how can I get this Depo Provera out of my system?
