You should consult with your doctor or pharmacist for this answer.
No.
Yes, just as the birth control patch is still effective if applied to a spot (like the arm or leg) with hair, the patch is effective if a hair is stuck to it.
yes but at the top of the back,
Yes, you can get a hysterectomy while Depo Provera is still in effect.
I think so
If you use it correctly for at least one week, the birth control patch is effective even if you're bleeding. You still have protection during the patch-free week if you used the patch correctly in the previous weeks.
Yes. Depo takes 30 days or so to become effective and is not 100% effective in any case. No birth control is 100% effective.
If the patch is not the nicotine patch and the pill is not aspirin, no.
You still have the same protection the day before depo provera is due. Some women have bleeding just before the shot is due, but they are still protected.
The IUD and the contraceptive implant are both more effective than Depo Provera. The contraceptive implant still involves a needle, but you only get that needle once every three years. There is no needle involved in insertion of the IUD in the majority of cases, and if you felt strongly about no needles, you'd just need to let your health care provider know, and none would be required for the IUD.
Yes. Sometimes doctors will even prescribe you the Microgynon whilst on the Depo Provera, to help and settle side effects of the Depo such as prolonged bleeding. The Microgynon helps to reset your period while on the Depo. Results are usually effective but not in every case. If you are still experiencing prolonged bleeding after this contact your GP for alternative options.
No, Depo provera does not prevent any STD. It is only a form of birth control (preventing you from getting pregnant) -it's not a barrier. You still need a condom to protect you from STDs
