Could it be from the depo shot?!
| Wed, 03-24-2004 - 2:00pm |
Hello! Recently I posted about side effects I had been having from the Depo shot. One of them was a fishy odor and it was recommended that I get tested for a bacterial infection. My doctor tested for that and for chlamydia/gonorrhea. The bacterial test was negative. That leaves me really scared. I don't know if it is a side effect of the shot, from bleeding for a month, or if my new b/f (who is the first person I have been with since my husband of 7 years) gave me a VD. The worst part is, if it is the latter of the three, I had an affair on my husband with my current b/f and he on his wife with me. We are together now, but that would mean we gave it to our exes and whomever they've been with since then. I've concluded there are 8 people involved here that have possibly been infected....that I know of. Should I tell my husband? I know I have to but I don't want him to find out about the affair....we are going through a dirty custody battle! Is it possible that it is from something other than a VD? Has anyone else experienced this on the depo shot?

I’m confused. Did you ask your doc about the fishy odor? If you didn’t you should. It might not be a bad idea to be tested for the whole range of STIs, if your doc didn’t do that already, not just Chlamydia /gonorrhea. I agree, if you test positive for something then you need to tell your partners. But, if your tests are negative there is nothing to tell is there? What I would do is, with the help of your doc, sort out what (if anything) is physically wrong with you and take it from there. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck

So the chlamydia and gc were negative...so that's good.
