Depo shot experience?

Question

I was on the shot from feb 2020-Nov 2020 after having my second child. The last dose I got was back in November. I started getting my periods back in may of this year but it has been irregular. I have not yet gotten my period for the month of August and had a neg pregnancy test. Anyone experience the same thing or anything similar? I went on 10 mg of provera for 10 days which did nothing. I keep overthinking that something is wrong and I can’t get pregnant 😢 I’ve also started recently TTC (about a month now)

Answer

Not to like put fear but depo is extremely harsh on the body. When I got on it, even at 19, my doctor asked if I’d want to have kids in the next 5 years because this BC completely disrupts your natural cycle and can take some time to get back. Like 1+ and the + is longer if you’re on it longer. It also cause me to completely stop bleeding, gained weight, got super depressed, and then it thickened my uterine lining so much I had to go have it scraped. Ive heard nothing good about it. I was only on it for a year. I’d start trying to conceive/focus on that when you have 3-6 months of regular on time trackable periods with confirmed ovulation.

Answer

They desperately need to pull depo off the market.  I had one shot.  One.  It took a year for me to have my period return.  The first couple months I passed golfball sized clots and it was the most excruciating cramping I’ve ever had.  It just seems so unpredictable 😔
