Did anyone have the depo shots? How was your experience with it? I got my implant taken out today and I was gonna switch…

I did one round of it. I spotted for a few weeks. What made me switch though, is it’s not meant for long term use, and heightens risk for osteoporosis.

This is my first and last time getting the shot I think I wanna just give up bc all together

The shot causes so many issues. I’ve never heard good things about it. I know it made someone I know gain nearly 80lbs and another one 50lb. Once off of it the one who gained 80 was able to lose weight, 90lbs but took a year. Fertility issues after using is a big one too

Don't do it! I was on it for a year. I was a raging bitch. Super emotional. Headaches daily. The last shot i had they messed something up in my arm. My arm goes numb all the time now. It used to be extremely painful that i couldn't lift it now its fine but still goes numb daily. This was 4 years ago.

I was on it from 17 to 22 and it wasn’t too bad for me. The only thing I hated was the random spotting.

Was great for me didnt gain weight or have a period for 18months when my life went chaotic and I missed taking it then decided something else when I finally got back on something

I lost so much weight, bled nearly the entire time, and got pregnant while on it. It didn’t work well for me.

Ok I needed advice on this too....which bc is safe then momma's?

I had some many problems with Depo shot my body completely shut down! Like it started in my knees and slowly moved to where I couldn't even get up!! It all started 2weeks after I got the shot. I even dropped my child when she was a couple weeks old because my arm just went numb. I know everyone body is different but I like to tell every other mama I know stay away from that shot!

One time I had to get up to go pee and fall right over! Luckily I missed the table by a couple inches

Drop made me super angry, irritable, and suicidal.
