You may already have done this, but would it help to be very frank with your doctor/provider and tell everything about your IBS/endometriosis and how well Depo is working for you. Could you maybe take extra calcium pills to kind of offset the bone loss? Has your doctor given you any other alternatives besides the birth control pill? It sounds like you feel very strongly about this and if it were me, I would either keep on them until they approved the Depo or try and find another doctor.

Have you done any research on the Internet about Depo & bone loss? I remember back when I was just looking into Depo that it had been around in Europe for many years. Maybe you could find some research, then approach your doctor with your findings.

I'm finding that the older I get, the less I believe everything my doctors say. I do the research myself and in the case of my IBS, pretty much knew it was what I had before I went in. Then it was just ruling out the major bad stuff.

I really hope everything works out for you with the Depo. Please let me know how everything turns out. I'll be thinking of you.
