My niece gave birth to her first daughter recently; the little girl was born with a small problem: two thumbs on one hand. Before her change of heart, she had been using Depo Provera for a few years and decided to stop the injections shortly before she became pregnant. The question is how long does this drug stay in the woman’s system and if she conceives too early is the baby at risk? While the health risks to the women have recently received some media attention, who is gathering data on the anomalies of children born from mothers who have a history with Depo Provera? Are doctors even required to report these problems regardless of whether or not they suspect the culprit may have been DP?
