what were your side effects when coming off of depo?

Question

When you decided to stop taking the depo shot and birth control all together...what kind of side effects did your body go through?

I am not or was not on Depo ... my best friend was.. she took one shot a few months ago and decided not to get antoher one. because she is ready to try for another baby. currently she has been crampy, backaches, spotting and heartburn... so she is confused if she is just coming of the Depo or if she is Preggers.

Answer 1

I had one shot of depo shud have had one on the 24th june but didnt as me and fiancee are TTC ... i finally got my 1st period on the 4th september it lasted for 8 days it stopped for a few days then started again it then stopped and its started again after i came off the shot i had tummy cramps , was very moody, the period itself wasnt really heavy was lighter. everybodys different some wont have side effects but some will have really bad side effects

Answer 2

Your body does not really have side effects. Rather it goes through a process of healing and regulating. You may find that for a year or two after the depo you get irregular periods and have trouble with infertility. These side effects are less with the pill. If you are coming off of depo...good! The less time on it the better. I have seen very few people that have not had complications from it.

Answer 3

I was a complete idiot and took the Depo shot for almost five years straight. When I married in 2001, my husband and I decided that I would stop them so that we could try to have a baby. I don't necessarily remember any "effects" I had coming off of the shot except for the ones I experienced while on it. I had to deal with irregular periods and infertility for almost five years after coming off of it. At the beginning of this year, I finally started having regular periods on my own with no induction meds or ovulation inducing meds. I'm finally pregnant...our baby will be here around April 13th!

Answer 4

All people are different hunny.
I was on DEPO for over a year and had no problems at all. It was the same when i came off a few months ago.
I had no side effects but did have to wait 2 months before my periods started up again.
