ok, is it the depo doing this to me?? I was on the depo for 4 years prior to this, but i got off of it for 3months and got pregnant. Ever since i had my baby (2 years ago) my body has been so messed up so i dont know what to think anymore. I just recently got back on the depo and its totally different than the last time i was on it. I got on it like oct 12th and i did have my period around nov. 25th and it was normal. All of a sudden here lately Ive been extremely tired, moody, gaining weight, and noticed a milky white discharge. I know most people dont get pregnant on the depo so i highley doubt thats a possibility, but is this normal for the depo, cuz it wasnt like this the last time i was on it. what do you think?

you should take a pregnancy test... I was on the Depo for 2 years & I got pregnant with my son while I was on the Depo... I was also takin pills for 4 years when I got pregnant with my daughter... So now the only birth control I trust is the IUD cuz I've have it for 5 years now & no pregnancies yet... lol... Hope this helps you

It could be the depo . I got the depo on 5/15/06 the I went to the doctor 2 weeks later and it turned out I was pregnant. I just recently seen my period since I took the depo. My doctor says some women don't see there period until 2 years later after getting off the depro

the progesterone in depo increases appetite and makes you chow relentlessly. moodiness is also a common side effect. a milky white discharge could be caused by a # of things, and i wouldn't worry about it unless it's stinky. i just got off depo, and it was the nightmare of my life. the pill, patch, or ring would be a better alternative as you can remove or quit taking them if you have intolerable side effects.

Depo made me tired, made me gain 25 pounds in one month, gave me hot flashes, made my sex drive almost non existant, and caused severe abnormal bleeding and headaches. I have heard many women say they were on it once before and it was great, but the second time was a nightmare. It was a nightmare for me the first time.

It never did that to me. Check with your doctor as it's probably something else.
