Re: on depo..?

I have been off depo for exactly 2 years now to plan for last baby but I was on the shots from April 1995 until March 2003. The only side effects I had was headaches every once in a while. I think maybe it was around what would have been my ovulation time. Also, I only had about 4 periods in that whole time and I never spotted. Some women spot a lot though. The worse symptom I had was over 100 pound weight gain. Never had a weight problem until I was on the shots. Otherwise, it prevented pregnancy.

Re: on depo..?

Hi,

The most common side effects from depo is change in your period and weight gain. I was on if for a year and half and just finished my 12th week on March 16th. My period pretty much stop 6 months into and I didn't gain any weight I actually lost 50 pds. I also lost a lot of hair because of it. I suggest if you are thinking of going on it, really do your research on it before. There's no way of reversing the shot after you have it, and it can stay long after the 12 weeks. Hope this info kinda helps.

Re: on depo..?

Depo screwed me up really bad. I went on it after having a child and stayed on it for 2 years. I stopped to try to have another child. Two years later, my period still had not returned, so I saw a specialist and began Clomid, got pregnant 4 months later. For the first 5 years after Depo, those 4 months of Clomid were the ONLY months I had a period!!! Now, almost 9 years later, I get more periods, but only a handful a year, if that. I have also been diagnosed with PCOS (I am 30 years old)!!!! PCOS usually manifests itself at the onset of puberty. I never had an irregular period before using Depo. I believe my PCOS is the result of using Depo. Do a search........you will find many other women out there who are dealing with EXACTLY what I am dealing with.....PCOS after Depo.
