Anyone know what drugs were given for women in combat in the Middle East for menstrual suppression? A client served 8 years as an EOD (explosives ordnance disposal, for the uninitiated--as I was until recently!) and spent weeks out in the sand with her assigned unit. She was a Marine, assigned to Army units, as I understand it.
Anyway, they gave her a medication to stop her periods, that didn't work, and she says they then gave her a shot and that worked "great." She now would like to start a family and we both have some concerns about long term effects of whatever drug or drugs she might have received. She says she wasn't told at the time and doesn't think we can get this from the military. I'm respecting her wishes and not shaking that particular tree. There is some hirsuitism (pubic type hair around her umbilicus), if that clue is helpful.
Anyone here know anything, from the little bit of detail I happen to know?
TIA--
