Depo and AAS

[Bgrenko]

Anyone know what the implications are , if any, of using AAS while taking the birth control shot Depo-Provera ?

any AAS will play havoc with ANY form of hormonal BC

I hear so many stories about girls on Depo who bloat & retain fat. This sort of pretty much fights against the goals of going on a cycle.

Depo is the devil get off it!

I have to agree, depo ultimately falls into the suck category. I was on it 2 years, never had any problems, really liked it, in fact. . . until I read an article not unlike this http://www.obgyn.net/newsheadlines/womens_health-Contraception-20021010-7.asp

I had the depo shot for 1 year and had my period almost THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME. Spotting every day. It sucked. My doctor kept telling me it would clear after I got used to it. bah.

I am against anything that messes with your hormones. It finally ordered one of these and love it.

I have to agree with everyone here on this.

Well mostly, if your using AAS, Depo is not a good idea, but for someone like my gf who is mostly interested in general fitness, homronal BC is not really much of an issue.

I am amazed at the progress she has made despite BC. She has not only lost fat, but gained a substantial amount of muscle and strength as well.

For most women I think you can use BC and still be in phenomenal shape; however, if AAS are in the picutre, its a nono.
