 Please get her OFF the DEPO!!!
about 10 years ago Depo was one of the standard treatments for PCOS, from experience, I've found out that it is also one of the WORST.
After my pregnancy last year, they put me on Depo for BC, after a year, my symptoms have gotten 10% worse, and AF just WON'T go away. It was find for the first 3-6 months, but after that, things started going bad.
I have since found out that doctors who are familiar with PCOS don't even offer Depo as an option to women with PCOS, because it can make everything so much worse.
Please, please, please, have her speak to her doctor again, and depending on the area you are in, try to find someone who is familiar with PCOS, apparently this doctor ISN'T, and she needs someone who knows what they are doing.
