Birth control shot?

Question

Who has gotten pregnant off of it? Side effects? Is it a good choice for me I'm 17 years old and wanna have sex with my bf of 8 months but don't wanna get pregnant at all I'm looking for a birth control method and we are also gonna use condoms

Answer

I had a lot of bad side effects and it took a long time to get a normal period again once I stopped getting the shot. I will never in my LIFE get that again. But I did have a successful pregnancy with my son after being off it for a few years, and I'm now pregnant again, so I don't think it's done any long term damage or anything.

Answer

Don't get it!!!!!!!! It ruins your body literally, I may not be able to conceive ever because of it!  You have to think long term whenever you're putting this stuff in your body,  try nexplanon for long term birth control or stick with the pill and wrap it up!

Answer

Do more research if Considering the shot, I have been doing months of research h trying to figure out what might be best for you. I have heard of a lot of horror stories from long term use of the shot. Even women that just use for an injection or too. You may be young and feel you are invinvible, but long term effects can be a lot worse. I have only ever got one shot in life and I am glad I bled the whole time, I steered me away from continuing it.

Answer

I'm off of depo. When I first got the injection I was rushed to the er one night from blood lose they said I went into shock and I was in active labor but I wasn't pregnant. I was on it 1.5 years. This month will be a year I've been off of the injection. My side effects were old brown blackish blood, extremely engorged sore breasts. I had to use nuvaring to restart and regulate my period after this shot. That's my experience. Oh when ever I was due for a shot I would spot and spot during intercourse. Now I'm back to myself.

Answer

The shots from what I hear are good, the side effects usually come later in life and you'll have to get one I think every three months for the Depo
