depo shot??

Question

Opinion or experiences with depo shot?

Answer

I hated it. Took it twice. (6 months) and I gained 40lbs and it messed up my cycles so bad. Plus I'm having trouble ttc.

Answer

I was on it for 2 years. I went from 165lbs to 220lbs. I would get awful headaches all the time and after the first year I didn't have a period. Intercourse was very painful and I was very sensitive. When I went off of it it took me over 6 months to actually have another period. I hated it.

Answer

I bled for the entire three months. Not a lot just enough for it to ruin my underwear and cause me to need a tampon/pantyliner

Answer

I've had migraines with aura and one of the reasons I've stopped the pill as it contains progesterone and estrogen. The pill and these migraines have been linked to increased risk of stroke. I am trying to find a bc that is only progesterone which leaves iud and depo...

Answer

I study abroad and quit the pill two months ago. I'm going home soon and need to find a new birth control method. The depo shot is the only available method here besides the pill. My husband and I are anxious to be intimate when I come home. And because I switched insurance companies I don't have my primary doctor anymore so I cant imagine trying to get an appt to have an iud put in. What do I do? I was gonna go with the depo but all I am hearing are bad reviews

Answer

ive been on it for almost 2 years & When I first started in 2013 I weighed 118, now I'm 147. I went up 5 pants sizes. I have painful intercourse, lots of acne, no periods, & if I did have one it took me 6-9 months after my last period befor I would have another one & it would only last 1-2 days.
