| 1 | parent made me | I have only been on this shot for a year. The first three months were fine but when I went in for my second shot I haven't had my period for over three months, I am always tired, I've had horrible mood swings, and for the past three months I have constant abdominal pain every day. I would not recomend this to anyone...... | F | 15 | 1 years | 6/24/2012 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | I have experienced heavy bleeding for two months, embarrassing Itch, moody, depression, angry, easily irritated, abdominal pain, with swelling of the abdomen and vagina, suicidal thoughts, I took my first shot in august its October now and I am not planning on taking this shot again it sucks it doesn't even work I got pregnant in September I was pregnant for almost 5 weeks and the shot killed the baby and is now releasing horrible chunks of not blood clots or blood it looks like part of a mucus plug and I had all of it cleaned out. So this product should be thoroughly explained by doctors or just taken off the shelves. Very upset about this shot. | F | 15 | 3 months | 10/26/2012 | 1 | Doctor recommendation. | weight gain of 20 lbs, a 3 month long period (still hasn't ended), may be cause of weakened immune system, moodyness, back pain, acne, extreme fatigue. | Depo should be banned from the market! The side effects are insane! I was only 14 when I got recommended the shot. My mom said it was just that time to look at my options. Well, my doctor recommended the Depo shot. She said side effects of 5 lbs weight gain (10 lbs at most), and that was it. She said my period would stop a few days after the period. What a joke. I gained 20 lbs in the first month! I now eat salads and have changed my diet and still no weight gain. I hope when I put up my pool that will help with the weight loss. Also, after the shot my period did stop. Only to come back a month later and it hasn't stopped since. My period started Dec. 26. It's now March 16 and I still have this wreched period that I was not informed I would possibly get. I also have extreme fatigue, which has pretty much ruined my Freshman year. I'm always too tired to go anywhere. I'm a straight A student and because of my fatigue and slight depression from the shot, I now have one F, a C, and 2 B's. | F | 15 | 3 months | 3/16/2007 | 5 | Birth Control | Irregular bleeding, 5-10 lb weight gain, no cramping, lost interest in sex. | Despite the weight gain and irregular bleeding, Depo-Provera has helped me out quite a bit. I may still have a tiny period but I dont have to worry about pads/tampons anymore. I am also more active physically since I started taking it. I find it to be very helpful. I recommend this medication to anyone looking for a strong method of birth control. | F | 16 | 8.5 months | 8/22/2005 | 5 | I can't take the birth control pill | gained 5-10 pounds, and back acne, spotting | This was the only choice for me, I had really bad cramps before, and I cannot go on the pill because i have a condition where i am at a 30% chance of getting blood clots and the pill increases it by 10% so they did not want to take the risk. I think it is wonderful. I have had three shots and at first i spotted alot, but know i just get the odd day where i spot and it is so little. | F | 16 | 7 months | 12/13/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | I have experienced increased MOOD SWINGS as in crying for no reason, becoming more DEPRESSED than usual, and alsoSNAPPING AT PEOPLE and everything AGGITATES/AGGRAVATES me. i already have a past with emotional issues and Depo-Provera just increased and highly intensified them. I also have frequent HOT FLASHES, and more HEADACHES than usual. Other than these side effects i am very pleased. i would recommend this because its convenient(for me) and it gets the job done. stops my period and protects me from becoming pregnant. I have been with the same man for years now and we never worn a condom(kind of stressful and nerve-wracking), but with Depo i am less stressed and he has come in me before and i haven't become pregnant!:) | F | 16 | 2 months 1X AN | 5/17/2010 | 5 | birthcontroll | slightly more tired. | i love this shot! ive only been on it for 2 months, but it's completely stopped my periods, which means NO CRAMPS! yay! i've had no crazy side effects other people are talking about. no sex drive decrease, no extream bleeding, no hair loss, no trying to kill my husben. i recomend it. | F | 16 | 2 months 1X O | 6/6/2011 | 5 | Low platelets. Heavy period. | My period went completely away. Now I won't have to bleed until my platelets recover from chemotherapy. I used to bleed for two+ weeks and now I feel a million times better. I only have a few side affects that only last a few days: loss of appetite/unsettled stomach, stomach cramps/bloating, and pain/swelling at the injection site. | F | 16 | 1 years | 2/17/2012 | 5 | birth control | nightmares, mood swings | i think its awesome i been on it a year and no weight gain i weigh 103 pounds a full head of hair and im still healthy and cheering normally withought fatigue or tiredness and im not usually hungry so different people have different effects | F | 16 | 1 years | 4/24/2007 | 4 | to not get pregnant. | i've had some pretty weird side affects from this. none really bad. but none really "normal" either. i've had a HUGE change in appetite.. and used to LOVE greasy, junk food. but now i love fruits and vegetables! it's great! i've also had in increase in sense of smell. this isn't too bad, but i start to feel sick because of it sometimes. i know you're probably thinking that "she's pregnant" but im not. it's really not too bad and i recommend it. | everyone says not to take depo because of weight gain and stuff. well maybe it's because of my age, and i might not want to take it for the rest of my life, but it's worked so far. i'm happy with it. | F | 16 | 6 months | 8/21/2007 | 4 | Stop Pregnancy | I really like this! I wanted it to stop pregnancy and not get pregnant. First week I have had bad back ache a bit and little bit of period pains, but I expected so much more. Little tenderness of boobs, I would make sure this injection is right for you, its different for everyone! It has been so good for me :-) | F | 16 | 7 days not sure | 12/20/2011 | 4 | To prevent pregnancy | Um the day I started my period I got the shot which was october 3,2011 then I ended october17,2011 then I didnt get my period again til december 5,2011 and im still on it but I know I just got to wait til my body releases every thing it needs to . No bad side effect because my periods light im losing weight . | F | 16 | 3 months | 12/30/2011 | 4 | Prevent get prego | When i first started the shot i was on my period 24.7 But alot of the ppl i know that have gotten this shot had the same side effects. My stomach hurts every now and then.Nausa, mood swings. Thats about it. I pee a lot but i also drink a ton. | This shot so far has been great we usually always use condoms but there is no reason to not stay as protected as i can. | F | 16 | 1X AN | 3/29/2011 | 4 | for birth control | Heavy bleeding, on and off for three months, a increased sex drive, no weight gained. | I have only experienced REALLY HEAVY bleeding, my doctors haven't told me why though. I have been bleeding for 3 months. I got the shot in jan. and it now may. so its not that bad. I have had a big increase in my sex drive, no weight gain at all, im health all but for the heavy bleeding. I recromend this form of birth control for women who know they can handle the spotting and that dont want to have kids right away. | F | 16 | 6 months 30MG 1X day | 5/13/2010 | 4 | so i wont become pregnant | M | 16 | 3 months 1X O | 4/16/2010 | 4 | protection | jst bad abdominal pain & sore breast the first two weeks | F | 16 | 3 weeks | 12/16/2012 | 4 | birth control | increased sexual drive, moodiness, weight loss, depression, NO period etc. | I can't decide if I like it or not | F | 16 | 2 months | 7/22/2004 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | i'm experiencing some bloating, backaches, headaches, abdominal pain, occasional breast tenderness, no period | I haven't got a period since before my depo shot and it honestly nice, the side effects are very mild sometimes painful but it depends. it does the job and i would recommend. plz email me if no periods in first month is a concern :) | F | 16 | 1 months 1X AN | 10/21/2020 | 3 | Prevent unwanted pregnancy. | I have had abdominal pains that would make me cry and have been really nauseated after eating something. My bleeding stopped completely for the first month. This is now the second month I have been on it and I've had my period 3 times since then. I'm always weak and never have an appetite. | I know I may get ignorant comments about being 16 and having sex, but I have protected sex and my mom thought this would be the best thing in the case of which a problem would occur. Now I regret ever getting this. | F | 16 | 2 months | 2/26/2017 | 3 | Birth Control | the only side effect i had was spotting a lot. | First of all I would like to say the shot does not make you eat!!!! Many start eating a lot because they think they will gain weight after the doctors tell them so stop blamming the shot and go on a diet. but the only side effect i have had is frequent spotting | F | 16 | 3 months | 4/15/2007 |
