i just figured since its injected into
your blood stream, and by donating blood
your body has to make fresh blood to
replace it...therefore thinning out the
injection...
this would make sense to me, unless the
shot itself only stops production of eggs
and all, and is therefore no longer needed
in the blood stream...
i dont know, but i dont want to be at risk
either, ya know?

Depo Posted: 08-18-07 17:01pm
my wife as been on depo for several years.
VERY moody, mood swings, and no sex
life. may or may not be depo, but she is
not the person that i married anymore.
She absolutely refuses to get off of it
(because of no period). i spoke with her
doc and she has hidden or isn't aware of
these issues. Doc wants her off of this.
she has now said she cant trust this doc
and will go to a different one. almost
acts like an addict. we are on the verge
of divorce and this is my last effort at
trying to keep marrage going for our 5 yr
old daughter. any help is appreciated.
thanks

It doesn't really stay in your blood, and
actually, I think it's injected into your
muscles... (maybe someone who is more
medically inclined should answer this lol)
but things in your blood get absorbed,
they don't just float around in your blood
forever.
I don't think it's a problem at all.

You can't just assume it is the depo- it
could be, but if she doesn't want to get
off it I'd go about it a different way.
Have a heart to heart with her, tell her
you are worried about the relationship and
that you want to be able to have the same
kind of relationship that you had before.
Make sure not to make her think you are
blaming it on her because it can't be all
her fault, relationships are 50/50. Be
willing to change yourself a little too.
Suggest marriage counseling. A therapist
will be able to objectively decide if a
medication change is needed or if there is
an underlying condition (depression?) or
if you just need to work on your
relationship.
Don't go behind her back and talk to her
doctor, I'd be pissed if you did that
too!! But I understand your concern. You
just need to go about it a different way.
