DEPROVERA

I HAD MY FIRST AND ONLY CHILD IN APRIL OF 2001 I IMMEDIATELY GOT ON THE DEPO AND AM STILL ON IT TODAY THAT`S OVER 6 YEARS WORTH. I HAVE GAINED WAIT GOTTEN MOOD SWINGS AM TIRED AND SICK FEELING ALL THE TIME AND DON`T REALLY ENJOY BEING INTIMATE WITH MY HUSBAND BUT FAKE IT ON A REGULAR BASIS. I ALSO HAVE HAD SO MUCH BONE DESITY LOOS THAT I NOW HAVE OSEOPEROSIS AND AM ONLY 26 YEARS OLD. MY HUSBAND AND I WANT TO STRAT TO HAVE A BABY BUT THIS DEPO SHOT DOESN`T EVEN WEAR OFF TILL THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL TAKE FROM 1 MONTH UP TO A YEAR FOR MY BODY TO GO BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THE DEPO FOR THIS LONG OF A TIME I JUST FOUND OUT THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CYCLE ON IT FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND THEN OFF FOR ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE STARTING BACK ON IT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REAL NICE IF SOMEONE HAD SHARED THIS KNOWLEDGE WITH ME 5 YEARS AGO. I HAVE NOT HAD A PERIOD SINCE THE POSTPARTUM OF MY DAUGHTER WHICH I LOVE BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY NEGATIVE CONS TO IT ON THE OTHER SIDE. HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE THAT IS THINKING OF GOING ON THE SHOT.
