Just to add another twist to the depo provera line. I've always been told (when I worked in an OB/GYN office) that it is not advised to give Norplant or depo immediately postpartum because the most common side effect is irreg. bleeding. If a mom is hemorrhaging postpartum, how can they tell if it is because of a birth complication or from the contraceptive?
