For decades, millions of women trusted the Depo-Provera shot—never being fully informed of the serious health risks that may now be affecting their lives.

I am one of many women who have experienced serious and life-altering health issues potentially linked to the Depo-Provera shot. Between 1992 and 2022, I received this injection believing it was a safe and reliable form of contraception. Instead, I have endured years of debilitating symptoms, including chronic headaches, memory loss, vision and hearing complications, and most recently, troubling balance issues when standing. My story is not unique—countless women are facing similar, unexplained health struggles, often without answers or acknowledgment.

Depo-Provera, manufactured by Pfizer, has been administered to millions of women worldwide under the assurance of safety and effectiveness. However, concerns about its potential risks have existed for decades. As early as 1983, research began to suggest a possible link between Depo-Provera and the development or growth of meningioma brain and spinal tumors, and Pfizer and its manufacturers have known about this risk since then. Despite that, women were still told the shot was safe to take. Studies have also shown that women who used Depo-Provera may be 5.5 times more likely to develop a tumor. Because these tumors can grow very slowly, many of us who are in our 40s and under may still develop a tumor later in life, even if we have not been diagnosed yet. This is exactly why the FDA and CDC have a responsibility to do the research, seek out everyone who has taken this shot, and follow through on the federally obligated duties of their jobs to protect public health.

In addition to tumor-related concerns, many women have reported serious conditions following Depo use, including bone density loss, endometriosis, uterine complications like cancer and cysts as well as other long-term health effects. Some have even died from health issues due to this shot. These outcomes have left many feeling dismissed, unheard, and unsupported by both the medical system and the agencies responsible for oversight.

We believe patients have a right to informed consent—meaning full transparency about potential risks before making decisions about their bodies and health. The continued lack of acknowledgment and proactive investigation into these concerns raises serious questions about accountability and patient safety.

We call on the FDA and CDC to:

Publicly address and clarify the known and potential risks associated with Depo-Provera
Fund and support comprehensive, independent research into its long-term health effects
Actively identify and notify everyone who has taken this medication
Follow through on their federally obligated duty to protect the public and ensure proper oversight
Provide guidance for medical professionals to properly screen, monitor, and support affected patients
Ensure that all patients are fully informed of potential risks before receiving this medication
This is not just about one drug—it is about trust, transparency, and the fundamental right to make informed healthcare decisions.

We stand together in calling for answers, accountability, and action. Our health, our voices, and our futures matter. Our lives are just as important as those who have already been diagnosed, and we should all be involved in the outcome.

Sign this petition to demand transparency, protect future patients, and ensure that no one else is left in the dark about their own health. I cant do this alone ladies, I need your help....please SIGN!
