Om Which Part Of The Body Should The Depo-Provera Injection Be Administered?
OK I need to know where the Depo-Provera shot is to be given the arm, hip or stomach? My nurse at doctor s office says that they have to give it in the stomach because they say it s more effective and that it s less dosage than in the hip only 140 for stomach instead of 150 for hip or arm, and they refuse to give the shot in the arm all together.

You can take depo provera on arm or hip.
They work for 3 months.
It does not make much difference by the site of injection
