Depo-Provera - March 4

Dr Jacobs, I would like to know can the side affects from the Depo-Provera shot and from the birth control patch cause auto immune disorder? I have been on both, the shot back in 1996 and the patch from 2001-2004, I know they have awful side affects.

Can these affects cause miscarriages? and what do the Depo shot and Provera have in common? I have been given Provera to bring down my cycle before, a nurse told me they were bascially the same thing, any advice will be helpful.

Thank you Dr Jacobs, as always

Provera and the depot form are chemically the same. Provera, in either form, is not know to cause an auto-immune problem, or miscarriage.
