Depo provera and maca
Find low drug prices at local & online pharmacies
Why playing with the hormones? Firstly, you are young (25) for Depo-provera. Secondly, what you are doing is lowering your estrogens with Depo provera and after trying to increase them with the Maca root. I do not find it a reasonable practice. Better, consider using barrier methods of contraception, such as diaphragm, cervical caps, or condoms.
Maca root is eaten as a porridge by humans and animals in Peru. It is considered a delicacy there, and has been eaten for hundreds of years. Therefore, it is probably safe to take if you are sure you know what you are getting. Be careful, though, as supplements often are not what they say they are and have very little regulation.
Now, the tougher question is whether they have any benefit... I have seen claims that it has aphrodisiac properties, but there is very little real evidence to support this.
Best of luck!
