Depo Injection

I was on Depo for a year and a half and had breakthrough bleeding everyday for that time. Very uncomfortable and embarassing with my partner. When discussed with my doctor they just told me I was I was one of the exceptions to the rule ie: instead of stopping my period, mine never went away. I went off the shot and started taking Loestrin birth control pill and have had no problems since. Hope this helps. I know how much of an inconvenience it can be..

I got on the shot right after giving birth to my first son and I bled for 8 months straight afterwards. I gained like 25 pounds from it and was tired. I stopped taking it after about 2 years and I didn`t have a period for over a year after I stopped so when I ended up pregnant with my second son I was 5 months along before I knew it. I don`t recommend it to anybody.

I also took this shot for about a year and didnt blead for the whole year then after i got off of it i bled for 6 months straight and have been off of it for about 4 years now and i am finding out that my fiancee and i will have problems having a baby when nothing was wrong before. We have now spent to date over $4,000 in 6 months trying to concieve a baby all because of that shot!! i would not recommend it to anyone!!
