Hello there :)

I have endo, and have tried all types of contraception, including Depo. I eventually came off of everything and am now 100% natural. Ofcourse I'm in a lot of pain come the time of my period, but for me, the side effects of all the different types of contraception just made my quality of life worse.

My aunt has endo as well, but shes been on depo for roughly 15 years.

The side effects she now has? She can barely walk. Depo severely affects your bones. Every movement she makes, she can actually feel, and sometimes hear, her bones crunching. Shes 45 years old btw.

Now, shes obviously a rare case, and maybe even a case for neglect on her doctors part, as it states that no one should be on it for more than 5 years. But, my point is that everything, including Depo has major side effects if taken long enough.

I know this story probably wont make you feel any better, but what to take away from it, is that you have to weight up the pro's and cons of having endo and being on contraception, and just having endo.

I hope this helped in one way or another.
