I've been on the depo shot for about 3
months now. Now, I am posting this, not
to be negative, but to tell my experience
with the depo shot.
Like I said I have been on it for three
months. At first I was happy with it. I
posted before all of my symptoms that I
had when I first recieved it. I believe I
posted when I was on it for about two
weeks. Now, on my third month I am
unhappy. My sex drive is completely gone.
It hurts to have intercourse and I bleed
after also. I have had an ordor from down
there and I am not happy with it either.
It makes me feel....Hmm, uncomfortable. I
have also been bleeding for the last
month. It is spotting, but still bleeding
to me. I have to wear a pad all the time
so that when I do spot, I don't bleed
through. I was aware of all of these
effects before I started it and was just
hoping that I wouldn't be one of the
people to have them. But, unfortunalty, I
am. I have researched the other types
of bc and I don't want to have to deal
with the spotting and the hurt during
intercourse. I want it to be pleasurable.
I am unsure of what the clinic will say
when I tell them I want to get off of it.
Completely. I don't want them to try and
convince me other wise. I would like to
hear how other people are with such things
as the patch and the pill. It would be
nice to know that I won't be bleeding 90%
of the time. So please, any information,
experiences, would help greatly. I don't
really want to get off of it, but I also
don't want to be unhappy.

I`ve been on the depo since last year in
march and I stopped in january of 2006 now
my cycle isnt so normal but when you have
intercourse its very painful because I be
very painful to but I havent figured out
why I had pain.But if its your first shot
you are going to have some symptoms like
bleeding after intercourse and spotting
but when you get off its goin to be the
same but after a while you will start to
have regular periods but if you continue
to be on the shot you wont have a period
like that it will just be a little
spotting but then again it still depends
on how long you will be off but bein off
the shot made me happy.

yeah I just posted on the whole
intercourse thing. Makes me sad.
but yeah, I have decided to get off of
birthcontrol for now. It just isn't
working. My mother told me she was on the
pill for 13 years. I was
like..Wow...Really? Lol
