Depo shot side effects?

Question

Ok everyone so I've had 3 shots so far but I seem to be having bad side effects, headaches, no sex drive, depression, irregular bleeding. Has this happened to anyone else?

Answer

Got the depo in October and conceived the first week of December, spotted every week for a day or two prior to conceiving. Mood swings. I didn't feel like myself at all and I got the shot to prevent pregnancy and it's like it did the exact opposite

Answer

I got the shot once & bled for 6 months.

Answer

Had depo two times in 2000. Gained some weight. Didn't take it or anything again. Took until 2005 to get pregnant.
Always thought it was something about depo that messed up my cycles.

Answer

I had depo when I was a teen. It gave me boobs. And I never had a period until I got pregnant on it at 18. Imagine my horror at postpartum bleeding...lol No nasty side effect though.

Answer

Yea after I had my daughter and got back on Depo it didn't act the same. I literally spotted the entire 3 months that I was on it. It sure was birth control because I couldn't have sex.

Answer

I had two shots, and bled the whole six months. It was awful. Never again.

Answer

I experienced unexplained vertigo for over a year from only 2 shots. Worst experience of my life.

Answer

I found the biggest side effect was the weight gain. I lost all the weight after coming off it I had put on but then fell pregnant lol
