depo-provera contraceptive jab,to blame?

Ive had a ongoing problem with ovarian cysts,and during my first treatment a doctor as good as told me long term use of this contraceptive could have been to blame...since then another medical professional has hinted the same thing.I cant help but wonder if this could be the case,after all contraception of any invasive type interferes with normal bodily functions so cant do you any good really.

Hi there.  I'm not sure about the dep0-provera works.  Women who are on the pill or patch are generally less likely to have cysts since those methods stop ovulation.  We do see that women who take fertility drugs have more cysts.  Are you going through another bout?
