 1  Not get pregnant ,Now I want to. I got on the depo for the first time. I received the shot April 24th,2014 and never went back for the 2nd which I had to do between july 10th-27th 2014 and I didnt because it made me feel sick and my hormones were just crazy. I got my period july 10th which lasted till the 19th 2014. My period was a lil irregular but got a period every month. I have been trying to conceive since then its now April 25th 2015 and still not pregnant I have sex everyday multiple times sometimes. I dont understand why I still haven't gotten pregnant.Hopefully soon but I dont recommend this birth control method if you do want to get pregnant within a year or so. F 22 3 months

 1  to prevent pregnancy Nausea, headaches, ear aches, chronic fatigue, pain in knees & feet, light bleeding weight gain; after the 3 months I suffered hair loss, sleeplessness, horrible pain in some joints but cracking sound in all joints and no menstrual. Prior to administering the ONE three month shot, my doctor only told me about only two side effects: weight gain & weak bones(after consecutive use of about a 2-3 years). I had the injection only once, Dec 15,2013. Today is Feb 27, 2015 and I am still suffering with cracking/scraping joints, headaches & hairloss. Depo-Provera is a dangerous drug!!!! F 39 3 months

 1  to reduce length of period and pain Weight gain, muscle weakness and muscle spasms. No sex drive, lower back pain, depression. Depo provera is the worst option to choose as a birth control, to help reduce bleeding, pain of uterus, etc. I was weary of taking it because I heard it causes weight gain. I was struggling in that area. I told my Dr my concern. She said you won't gain weight your appetite will increase but as long as you work out and eat right, you'll be fine. That was a crock of s*#! I was always hungry. My first month I was fine. 2nd month everything went down hill. I researched the side effects right away to see if it coud be the shot. It was the only thing different I had done during that time. Sure enough other women were complaining about the same symptoms. I was feeling weak. No energy or strength to exercise. Lower back pain, muscle spasms, depressed, no sex drive. Thank goodness I only got 1 shot. I got my first and only shot in June of 2014. It is now Feb 2015. I just started feeling better. F 40 3 months

 1  Hormonal balance Horrible!!! I've been so depressed, having bad anxiety and have had my period for 5 weeks now. My sex drive is almost nonexistent and I am always mad at the world. I've also developed this eye twitch which I can't 100% contribute to the shot but I've never had this happen before in my life. Never again! F 37 3 months

 1  Birth control Hmm side effects? Where do I begin. It started with the constant bleeding. Not enough for a tampon but too much to not wear a pad. Then came the mood swings, my poor family. I am waaay up then waaay down. Just terrible. A couple things I'm not sure have to do with the shot BUT didn't start until after I took it.. My hair is falling out a lot more and I've been having this random eye twitch which is EMbarrasing in the middle of night class. Finally, hot flashes, headaches, and cramps. It's safe to say I will never get this shot again. F 23 3 months
