  • Does using the injectable contraceptive affect the chances of me getting pregnant later?

  • I am 28 yrs old and have used the contraceptive injection (Depo Provera®/Depo Ralovera®) for four years. Recently, my doctor suggested I have a bone density test why is this?

  • I am three weeks late for my contraceptive injection (Depo Provera®/Depo Ralovera®) and I had sex last night. Do I need emergency contraception or would I still be covered by the injectable contraceptive?

  • I have a Health Care Card. How much will it cost to get the contraceptive injection (Depo Provera®/Depo Ralovera®) and how much is it normally?

  • I know that as a woman using the contraceptive injection (Depo Provera®/Depo Ralovera®) I need to protect my bone density. What can I do to keep my bones healthy and strong?

  • If I have my contraceptive injection (Depo Provera®/Depo Ralovera®) early will it stop the bleeding? I had an injection ten weeks ago. My periods stopped after the injection but in the last week I have had vaginal bleeding every day. Is there anything I can do about this?

  • I’m breastfeeding my baby. Can I use the injectable contraceptive (Depo Provera®/Depo Ralovera®)?

  • I’ve been using the contraceptive injection (Depo Provera®/Depo Ralovera®) for nine months. I’ve noticed that I’m dry during sex. Why do you think this is?

  • Our doctor has told both my mum and me that we would be best not to use the contraceptive injection (Depo Provera®/Depo Ralovera®) because of our ages – she is 49 and I am 17. What’s the story with this?
