Do you have to have the shots for 5 years? I just see myself given up after 1 year.
Doctors are so different. My Dr didn't bring up removing my ovaries, I had to ask. She said she doesn't like to do anything permanent unless has to and said if I get bad side effects after removing them I would just have to suffer through them vs w the shot, I could just stop anytime.
Do you have side effects from the shot?

I will have the shot until I hit menopause naturally I guess 😉
It's been a year now and I do not think I am experiencing any side effects from the shot itself.
Mind you, your situation is different (that you are scheduled to stop it at some point) and I tend to agree with what your dr said.
Praying for you to make the best, informed decision.
