Members shared mixed experiences with Depo-Provera for endometriosis treatment, with some finding it worked well initially by stopping their periods completely and helping them feel their best for about a year, while others experienced challenging side effects. Several members described significant drawbacks including rapid weight gain, ovarian cysts, continuous bleeding for an entire month, memory loss, and dizziness, with one member specifically warning against Depo-Lupron due to lasting cognitive effects. A recurring theme was that results vary greatly from person to person, and members encouraged gathering thorough information before starting treatment.

I used depo provera for about three months in college. At that time my endo was undiagnosed, but I definitely had it then. I bled non-stop for an entire month, and my periods weren't any lighter at all. That was the biggest con that eventually caused me to stop using it. The pros are that it's not a daily pill, you get a shot every few weeks which is convenient. That was the only pro I experienced. One other con I noticed was that the shot burns when injected, however, it's a manageable burn and eventually subsides.
