To receive a prescription for Depo-Provera you must be seen by a clinician for your yearly exam. Appointments are available in the Women's Health Department of University Health Services. Your health care provider will help you determine if Depo-Provera is an option for you, based on your past medical history, current exam findings and your understanding of and comfort with this method. A second visit to actually receive the Depo-Provera shot for the first time will be made at the appropriate time in your menstrual cycle. The sexual health educators of HealthWorks provide information on sexuality and discuss concerns or issues individually.
All conversations are completely confidential.
