depoprovera......

ok, so the state of ky has panicked (sp) of late, given reports about the risk of bone loss in women who take the depoprovera-injection form of birth control for longer than 2 years........our clinic must decline to give the injection to any and all clients who have surpassed the 2 year mark....regardless of circumstance....such as girls who are taking the injection without parental knowledge......i have a hard time with this...as there is substantial risk of bone loss with young girls having babies......in addition to other irreversible side-effects and ramifications.......it is much easier to keep quiet about a 4-time a year injection than it is about pills...which can and will be forgotten and could be found by family members who do not approve/understand....etc......we really need a male version of depoprovera.....although the likelihood that men could be persuaded to take it is another subject altogether.....that reminds me..i have tasken over the task of filling up the basket in the lobby with condoms.....must make sure that everybody who wants them is stocked up for the holidays......
