Answer 2

I had a horrible experience with depo. My period would not come for 3 months then come for an entire month. I gained about 20 pounds. I stopped taking the shot after about a year. Now my cycle is more regular and I've lost the weight. I hate it and will never take it again.

Answer 3

I had a horrible experience. I gained 25 pounds my first month on it, and 10 more over the next near, even though I was exercising regularly and watching what I ate. I had hot flashes in the middle of the night and then finally had to stop because I began bleeding heavily. It was so heavy, I could not leave the house for more than one hour, because the super sized pads were completely full. I almost went to the ER thinking I was hemorrhaging.

Answer 4

I had a friend who was on it for 8 years. Of course you don't have periods on it, which she loved, but when she decided to stop so she and her husband could conceive she had a period that lasted more than a couple of months straight. It also took more than a year after stopping the shot for her to get pregnant. She's on the pill now (after 2 kids) and says she'll never do it again.

Answer 5

If a teen or early 20's GET OFF OF IT!!!
epecially if you ever hope to haev children one day!
I'm 35, only had 1 shot 2 1/2 months ago. Moodiness, depression, head achces, memory loss, lossign hair, body aches/ joints ache feel like athritis from neck to hips. been on period 48 days now. See your Dr. I'm told it could take 6 - 18 mon. to get it out your system.

Answer 6

I heard it makes some people periods come on and stay on for a while and also it does mess with your hormones i hate it is doing this too you because you are trying to take the easy way out of preventing pregnancy instead of taking the pill

Answer 7

Depo sucks.

Weight gain, zero sex drive, spotting ALL the time... I hated it and most people I know that were on it didn't like it either.

Now it's being linked to brittle bones/osteoporosis, lots of docs won't give it anymore.

Answer 8

I had the shot and it was horrible! I had my period for a month straight, I gained 15 lbs, and it gave me terrible migraines. I will never do that again.
