My doctor told me I had to come off the pill at around 41, I think. I had just remarried at 40, but I ended up with high blood pressure (surely my marriage had nothing to do with that ) and he said we needed to find another option. He did not ever suggest the Depo Provera as an option for me. Tubal ligation was my option and thankfully my husband stepped forward and took care of the matter so I didn't have to do that (bless his heart).

I think if you're not planning to have anymore children then a more permanent solution might be best for you.
