Depotrust has 99% efficacy rate and is considered highly effective at preventing pregnancy.

It is a progestin only pill-a synthetic hormone that works like progesterone (female s*x hormone).

It prevents pregnancy by:
1. Blocking ovulation.
It prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries. If you don't ovulate, you can't become pregnant.

2. Thickens the mucus in the cervix.
In the unlikely event that ovulation happens, progestin will thicken the mucosal lining of the cervix to prevent the s***m from getting through the cervix to the egg.

This form of contraception is for you if:
1. you can't take contraceptives that contain estrogen.
2. you prefer not to take an oral contraceptive pill everyday.
3. you don't want to use an Intrauterine Device (IUD)
4.you have no plans to become pregnant in the next 2 years because it temporarily affects fertility. Once you stop getting the shot it may take up to 18 mos. before you can become pregnant.
5. If you have other health conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, etc.

How to take the shot for optimum protection?
1. during the first five days of your period
2. within 5 days after giving birth
3. after 6 weeks after giving birth if breastfeeding (yes, pwede sa nagpapasuso)
4. within a week after having miscarriage
5. or anytime if you are sure that you are not pregnant. (just use a back up birth control method-withdrawal, condom etc.)

It may not be for you if:
1. you have history of breast, renal or endometrial cancers
2. you have history of blood clots
3. you are high risk for stroke or heart diseases
4. you have liver disease
5. you are allergic to any of the components of the shot
6. you have unexplained vaginal bleeding

*You might notice period-related side effects during your first year of use like:
✅spotting (light bleeding)
✅longer or irregular periods or
✅no periods at all

*weight gain and headache are also common.

The shot can lead to a decrease in bone density overtime (you can develop osteoporosis) that is why some experts recommend getting the shot for only 2 years or less.

If you can't use other methods of birth control you can take Calcium and Vitamin D supplements as long as you continue getting the shot to help prevent bone thinning.
