| 5 | Prevent pregnancy | I've only been on the shot for a month now and i had a lot of doubts going on it but took my chances as everyone's body reacts differently. The pill unfortunately did not help me with preventing pregnancy and i was not willing to take another chance so i shall see if this works. I haven't spotted or gotten my period since being on it. Still a very high sex drive. My appetite hasn't increase if anything i feel like it may have decreased a little but i have maintained the same weight and i eat very poorly and struggle with my weight which is currently 155. My mood is amazing i get random bursts of extreme happiness but it could just be how things are going in my life so i guess i'll see how my mood is if i get any setbacks. Extra moist down there for some reason now which i guess is a plus. The only thing which i have yet to find on the internet, if anyone is having this side effect, MY DREAMS ARE CRAZY!!!!! I remember my dreams now every single day i wake up and they are so vivid it's actually scary and i get maybe 7-8 hours of sleep and my body wakes me up.... i'm really curious if anyone else is experiencing anything like that because i would love to know since i can't find anyone saying anything about it. | If your dreams are crazy and you remember them vividly every night plleassseee let me know !!! Also i would love to hear from people that DID NOT have trouble getting pregnant after coming off the shot. i know some people said because of the shot they can't get pregnant but that could also be because you just can't yourself. So if you have gotten pregnant after being on the shot please let me know and let me know how long it took and how long you were previously on the shot !!! thank you (: | F | 24 | 1 months 1X AN | 4/11/2021 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | While I was on the depo shot, I had no side effects. I did not have a period (which was a plus) and it successfully prevented pregnancy. However, I have since stopped, June 2020 (due to age, I'm a smoker, etc.) and the only side effects of stopping I have experienced this far is breast tenderness and fatigue. | F | 40 | 18 years 4X O | 10/25/2020 | 5 | Contraceptive | None other than fertility took longer to return but then I was on it forever!! 13 yrs. (Started it 1990) & am 47 now (2020) | It worked great for me. No periods. No side effects other than extended fertility returning (after Had come off it) | F | 47 | 13 years 150 4X O | 10/24/2020 | 5 | Stop periods | Stopped periods, breast tenderness | Highly recommend this! I had horrible periods- bleeding through 5+ heavy tampons/day for 14+ days- and depo made them completely go away! | F | 18 | 3 years 150mg | 6/9/2020 | 5 | Because i was stupid | i got depression and anxiety which i had never suffered before the shot, I'd never recommend it | F | 38 | 3 months | 6/6/2020 | 5 | My husband and I didn’t want to have | Little to no period, Sex drive was fine. Injection site sore for the first day or so. | Would definitely use it again no painful Object to get in the way of great love. Later 3 months avoided at least 3 chances of babies ... | F | 36 | 1 days | 11/18/2019 | 5 | Migraines and birth control | Sometimes I have to get the shot a few weeks earlier than suggested. Regulates hormones but towards the end all of my symptoms of migraines, fatigue and fibromyalgia come back. I have a great ND who will let me get the shot a little earlier if I need to. Yes lower libido but for the benefits it's completely worth it. Give it a few shots to show benefits if you are not having severe negative effects. | Miracle drug for me! I started on a low estrogen pills to see how my body would react. After about 2 or 3 shots I do not get my period. My migraines are now manageable, I am much less fatigued, and no more joint pain! Doesn't work for everyone but for me it gave me my life back! I lift weights and exercise to prevent bone density loss. Also after 25 it is less of a concern according to my doctor. | F | 25 | 7 years | 7/14/2017 | 5 | Birth Control | No period, headaches, extremely horny all the time | I love it. December will make 5 years I've been using depo. I have headaches often but I have no other problems. I don't have periods at all but I am always horny. Lol | F | 21 | 5 years | 6/19/2017 | 5 | No pregnancy or periods | Hair loss and muscle pain weight goes up n down | F | 30 | 9 years | 4/25/2017 | 5 | Birth control | None haven't had my periods until today.

Love it. | F | 50 | 10 years | 3/9/2017 | 5 | Excessive bleeding with period | Lot of sweating even outside | F | 54 | 2 years | 2/15/2017 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | On the 3 month shot: Migraine like head will explode.back & tummy aches, dry during sex, light bleeding non stop, slept a lot, depressed,cry a lot, short bad temper shouting at kids, Off the shot: no bleeding for 3 months straight, Migraines, back & tummy aches, pregnancy symptoms, hypersensitive tip of nipples(just before i got AF on the 4th month),bloated,gas, constipated, eating non stop, gained fat around belly area which i never had tummy rolls before, dizziness, can sleep 12 hours straight, depression lifting slowly, | 2kids.Never took any form of contraception until i hit age 34.combination pills i could not bare so i tried depo Fam & it worked like a charm for 1 shot dose 3months lasted me 6months worry free very active sexlife.thinking about having another shot now that Aunt Flow is back on 7th month.loved the no bleeding side effect! Baby dust to those wanting BFP 💝 | F | 35 | 1 times | 11/12/2016 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | I do not have a period, tiredness, and joints ache at times... | I would recommend this birth control because the side effects don't last long and any medication we take have them... Everyone bodies reacts different to each type of birth control and medicine.. You don't want kids I suggest you try it!!! | F | 33 | 1 months | 8/27/2016 | 5 | Birth control | None. Never experienced any. I have received a Depo shot every 3 months for 23 years without any problems. | Have used Depo for birth control for 23 years. The two times I stopped taking Depo I went back to my same old cycle after 3 months of discontinued use. Never had a problem, but didn't have any to begin with. My daughter and neice are all on Depo and no problems. I literally have no problems when I'm taking Depo, it's the times I don't is when I have problems. | F | 50 | 10 years | 6/8/2016 | 5 | Stop having a baby | None been on it for 16 years and feel brill Saved a fortune on tampons no weight gain only a little due to eating and drinking more as I enjoy my food these days having a lovely person to live with the last 16 years! Hence the Depo | F | 44 | 10 years 16 | 5/29/2016 | 5 | To correct PMDD symptoms | Loss of period (after a couple months), and regulation of mood predominantly. Increased energy, weight loss, ability to focus and remember better. | I feel the need to put a positive review. Most people talk about how bad their body reacts to this drug. As someone who suffers severe (suicidal) depression and anxiety monthly, this medince has saved my life. I was on it for 8 years, went off to get pregnant, and recently went back on after my daughter turned 3. I had absoluetly no issue getting pregnant. Only after being off this medication did I learn the full extent of my PMS symptoms and needed to return to it. This is not a drug for everybody. Hormones are not something you should mess with lightly. One shoes does not fit all. Look at all your options, and review all the information you can. There are different hormones in each drug. There are also 2 different types of this specific drug! Make educated choices, not ones based on other peoples emotions. Not everyone has horrbile expierences with Depo. I tried many different "The Pill" and they all had their own aweful effects on me. Every Single One. Everyone's body chemistry is different. That's all. | F | 33 | 8 years 30 4X O | 5/19/2016 | 5 | Birth control | Only side effect I get is I don't get my period until it's time to get my shot again, it's my reminder, haha. | Everyone is different, but all these horrible side effects these women are apparently having through the depo is just... Seems far fetched. I love the depo, been on it for many years, and never once experienced a single bad side effect. But as I said, it just depends on your body chemistry. Hope this helps! | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 4/30/2016 | 5 | I hate my period and no kids | I got really horny and headaches | F | 18 | 3 years | 2/25/2016 | 5 | 2013 | Sore breast, and tired | F | 23 | 4 years | 1/27/2016 | 5 | severe dysmenorrhea during period | I am on depo for 22 years and had NO side effects and NO period...now, at 43 I've suddenly started bleeding a little and have slight stomach cramps(like period pain)-suspecting menopause | Best 22 years of my life | F | 43 | 10 years | 11/4/2015 |
