anyone have the same depo issues as me?

So i got the depo Dec 1st. I was on my period when i got it. Everything  was cool until two  weeks later. I had sex the condom broke. No *** in it or anything. 3 days later i was spotting  already and was irritated down there. I went to plan parenthood,  i got tested for stds  and screen for cancer. They  all came back negative. I am still bleeding almost 3 weeks now. I called my doctor  she told me to take ibuprofen 600ml every 6 or 8 hour. For 3 days if that dont work i should come in. The bleeding lighting  up but not gone yet. But besides  the bleeding  my body crazy  i gained ten pounds. I got aches under my rib cages i don't  know y. I had lower right back pain. My area been a bit  in pain cause i think cause i been wearing pads for this long. And i keep getting random bumps on my face and i got two on my butt that went away in like a day or two. Same with bumps on my face. My body sensitive  i hate this shot. And my joints and bones ache every once in a while i started taking vitamins to stop it. It s work for thw most part but i stop taking them cause I'm  taking  too  many things  at once  i dont want to get a yeast infection. I just  hope the bleeding stop and all these side affects  stop soon. I will not get this again and i been sooo moody crying and mean  and crying  again.  And head hurt on and off . I'm sleepy  too. My question  is has anyone  else had these problems? Or is it just me. And what were other people side affects?  Should  i try a different  birth control?  I'm  scared  to. And is all this coming from depo? And how long until this leaves my body?!Please people  let me know I'm  not the only one.

I had a bad reaction to depo when I was 16. I bled for a month and a half straight. It's just the way it reacts in some people's bodies. I was also sore and very moody. The bleeding was the worst part...period for a month and a half! But all tests had come back normal. It was just the way my body reacted to it. You should definitely try a different birth control and skip the depo when the 3 mnths is over.

Didn't Dr say anything!!!! Depo can make things more sensitive. Less lubricated. It's hormones so it can make you depressed, whiney, cry, mad, spleep, happy, headaches, cause acne- everywhere. But after the speed bumps getting on the road you're good for 3 months.  Some people bleed  with their normal period times at first. Lessening with time to no period. But I'd definitely go back if still bleeding after the 3 days. Take the ibuprofen like Dr said.  Read about the drug. It has good and bad things. Educate yourself so you will know whether you need to be scared.

No she  barely told me anything. She  just  looked  worried when  i told her I  been bleeding two weeks after i got it. And i been  reading i feel like my body been trying  to fight it or something. My friend  has it and her body fine. And my body already  sensitive  without  it.  And its only been a month. I was paranoid  after a while. I dont my body can handle hormones. Have u ever had depo and a bad reaction to it?
