Before I was on the shot I usually had sex every day with my boyfriend of 4 years. Now I am just so tired and I have headaches all the time and I know that those are symtoms of the shot, but I am never horny nor do I ever have orgasisms any more. I want this to go back to normal. I love sex I just don't feel in the mood any more.

Find another form of BC. Seriously, I was on the shot and I know exactly how you feel. Seems to have hit you a lot quicker though... I was on it for about a year before my sex drive died, my boobs were small and limp, and I became very moody. The only thing that made it better was switching to the pill, and it was a quick change too.

If you think about it, it makes sense. The depo shot doesn't have the same horomone that most pills do. Depo uses progesterone and has no estrogen in it, while pills use a combination of the two. I think some people don't react well to the no estrogen thing, since any form of BC messes up our own natural hormonal cycle and maybe they aren't getting enough of it.

Another good reason to not use Depo is that it has been proven to contribute to serious bone density loss. When women are already at a risk for osteoperosis, why invite more trouble?

Get off of that medication ASAP!!!!!!! My sister-in-law and I were both on it. I was on it for a year and gained thirty pounds, all while I was dancing two nights a week, playing on the tennis team, working, and going to school. It is horrible, I wouldn't give that medication to my worst enemy!!!! My sister-in-law ended up with cysts after taking that, and is going to have to have surgery soon to get rid of them because they filled up with blood. Try some other sort of birth control and quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not worth the no period thing, you still get spotting and the life-long problems from it is definately not worth it!
