User Comments about Depo-SubQ Provera

06 Feb 2012	Before my doctor started me on the subq depo I was in excruciating pain from the endometriosis. Since he started me on it the pain has been much better. Not completely gone but definitely much better than it was before I started taking it. I am very pleased with the results so far. —Posted by content31 Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
