    Hi Sarah, I wouldnt touch depo with a barge pole, or any of the other synthetic drugs for that matter. Google 'progesterone' or 'progesterone cream' and see a reply I have just posted today under title of 'Heavy Periods' Your hormones are seriously out of balance :cry: same as mine :cry: so I am going to see GP on Monday to ask to try natural progesterone cream.

    Good luck, hope you feel better soon.

    Hey, I'm not sure if anyone will see this as this discussion seems to be a bit older now.. But I was just wondering if any of you would know if the tranexamic acid would reduce the effectiveness of the depo shot? Hope you are all well smile
