Hi
I am also new here, I have only had one shot and I am due for my second one in may which I will tell you I am not going to get it. When I got the shot my doctor never did a prego test before he gave it to me. I was good the first two weeks after getting it than started to bleed since I was not on my period when he gave it he told me that I probably wouldn't get it but if so it would be okay. I have been bleeding ever since. I bleed for 4 weeks straight than started this brownish color discharge ill do this for a few days than quit, praying to god that it is finally done, But it returns, if my hubby and I have intercourse, I begin to bleed, this is tiring and frustrating, PLEASE HELP.! How long will this last.! I would never recommend this BC to anyone if I could take it back I would in a heart beat. I regret ever taking it!

Okay, ive been on Depo for around 3 or 4 years.
The first shot up until the 2nd it was horrible, but after that i have had like 6 periods since.
I gained like 10 lbs since, but if you eat healthy and exercise you WONT gain weight, that's all on you. its your decision.
i have a a question though.
after having no period for maybe a year then i had one for like 3 days, a light one, then it stopped for a few days and now its back, still light.
is this normal?

Hello. It's true the shot affects everyone differently, but here is my story. I only took 1 shot in the end of April.
I was engaged to be married. I went to the doctor to ask about all types of BC thinking they would be experts and the best advice givers (yeah right). I told the nurse I was about to get married and needed something for a few months because wanted to conceive near the end of the year. She said DEPO would be perfect for me, uh huh.
The first month was fine regarding AF, got my period right at the 1 month mark, but it never stopped. Yeah, newlywed having unstoppable blood wasn't that fun. I bled every day during June, July, until the middle of August. I also went through the costs of buying tampons and the frustrations. Sometimes the super tampon would be full in 1 hour and sometimes after 6 hours it would hurt when I pulled it out, but there was always a little blood. I also had a brown discharge and it smelled weird too, but that went away in October.
I had gone to another clinic in August and they put me on BCP to stop the bleeding and it stopped within 10 days. Hallelujah. But the BCP made me very anxious and moody so I stopped those too. I had taken the BCP until September (just 1 month, I thought it would be enough to regulate my cycle as long as the blood stopped). Well, the bleeding came back and was more like spotting. Then throughout the next few months I would have blood for 6 days, then 3 days clean, then blood for 10 days, 4 days clean, etc. Then in December 2010 I had a period for a week, clean for 1 week, got ANOTHER PERIOD for 1 week, and now it has not come back. It's been 28 days.
My nipples are SO tender and my boobs hurt too, even taking a shower or the slightest brush of my nipple and it will send me to tears. I was thinking I would get my period or I'm pregnant, I just don't know because I've never had sore boobs, not even once in my entire life (I'm 24). I want to get pregnant, but I feel like my symptoms are just a side effect of the DEPO leaving my system. It's been nearly 5 1/2 months since my shot ran out. Now would be the time to take a pregnancy test, but I don't want to be depressed by having it be negative again.
During the shot I had many side effects. I also bled after intercourse every time, it was light blood and not very dark in color and only came out after orgasm. I was also moody, irritable, heavily depressed. Sex turned into a chore and I hated having sex. Thankfully sex drive came back in October. I also gained about 30lbs during the 3 months that don't seem to leave my body even if I exercised and ate right.
I would not recommend this shot to anyone and I feel completely mislead. I was told I wouldn't have a period, but instead I bled everyday. Anyway, I hope anyone thinking of taking this shot chooses another form of BC. Depo is the worst and I tell anyone I know to NEVER take this shot. By far it has been the worst decision of my life and I 100% regret it; If I could take back that day, I would in a heartbeat.

I got the depo 2 months ago, I can feel that I'm gaining wieght already and I've been bleeding since the 2nd week, non stop. How long will this last? Please tell me its almost over! I'm going out to buy more femine products now and cost is killing me... Sometimes, I put a tampon in and it will be full and three hours later put one in and it starts bothering me and when I pull it out it hurts cause I'm so dry... but yet it does have a little blood on it. I can't figure out if I'm going to be heavy enough, for long enough to wear a tampon or if I'm going to be too light and need to use a pad.... HELP!! My b-friend and I had sex once in the last 2 months, during a day in which I thought it was all over, but after we were done, I started spotting again, and then started a full period only hours later. The period started 12 days ago and still flowing. Is this the normal bleeding they talk about in the first 3 months? and, will it stop after the 2nd shot? If not, is worth getting a 2nd shot?
I BEEN ON THE DEPO FOE NEARLY 6M IM DUE MY 3RD SHOUT DONE AT THE END OF MAY, THE 1ST 3 M ON IT I HAD ALL THE SIGN OF PREGANCY BUT I JUST WAS NOT , I WAS STILL GETTING MY P THOU OUT LESS SIGN BUT THERE WERE OF AND ON BUT ALWAYS CAN AT THE SOME DATES OF EVERY MONTH , BUIT THIS TIME WHEN THERE WERE DUE A WEEK AND A HALF A GO NOTHING HAPPEND I NEVER GOT THE BUT KNOW MY BELL SORE , I BEEN FEELING LIGHTER HEADED AND FEELING A BIT UNDER THE WEATER ..TO
