Depro Vera Injection

Hi my name is Shannon 5 years ago I had the injection, I bled for 7 months until I went to the doctor where I had to take perscriptive contraception (which wasn`t something that worked with my body anyway) for 3 months to get the bleeding to stop.
It obviously is something that affects your body in a negative way and I personally would not recommecnd this a viable option to young woman.
Furthermore, my good friend Tania who has been off the injection for coming up 2 years and was on it for 9 months is finding it impossible to get impregnated who is also getting married next year.
I only had one shot!!! So please if you are looking at contraception seriously please consider the affects that other woman are experiencing and the symptons that your doctor`s won`t tell you of or know how to fix.
P.s I am dying to be an aunty.

I too took the shot, but for five years. I have been trying, consiously, to get pregnant for over a year now and have been unable. I would love to get pregnant and give labor before the wedding next August. It just seems impossible. This trying time has been very hard on our relationship because we both really want children. A mistake I wish I would never have made.
