So its been almost 3 months since I've had my son ,i started the depo shot July 17th !Got my period two weeks ago on a Wednesday and still going ! Its not heavy at all and i dont bleed through any pads ,but its STILL there .have any of you mommas on DEPO had the same reaction ?!
@ravens_mommy. Thank you ill defiantly be looking in to this !what birth control did you prefer over it though?
I took one shot of depo and lightly bled the first and last month and didn't have a period the second month. I also lost my sex drive and my face broke out all the time while on it. If you decide to stay on it do your research. The pamphlet that comes with the shot from the pharmacy (I had to get it from pharmacy and take it to my doctor to do) says they do not recommend taking depo for more than 3 years at a time because it breaks down your bones. I've read stories where women who have never had a broken bone in their life got multiple ones while on the depo.
@maddoxsmommy2017, lol I'm no longer on birth control.. we pull out that's bad lol
@maddoxsmommy2017, I switched to the pill and then I stopped taking them. I was tired of being on birth control. I honestly don't know what I would tell you to get on because I don't know if the other ones you would like I've never tried them.
@keonataylor what birth control would you choose to be on instead ?i was going to do the pills ,but i still see people get pregnant with it .& im not trying to have another one till mine is older
@ambergainer and you never stopped bleeding on it ?what birth control did you choose to do instead ?i want to be protected but i also dont want to bleed forever 😂😂
@maddoxsmommy2017, no I felt normal I just hated bleeding all the time. I was 14 when I got on it and I stopped taking it at 17 and I'll be 19 in November.
@keonataylor did you also feel bloated and nausea on it ,i swear i feel like im pregnant again sometimes ,but i feel like i put it in my head so much i actually believe it !
Yea that was the reason I stopped getting mine. I think I had 2 or 3 shots.
@maddoxsmommy2017 I've only been on the depo and pill, I couldn't remember to take the pill. I'm currently waiting to get the arm implant.
