I posted last night inquiring as to whether anyone has had a good experience on Depo (I got my first shot yesterday). No one did!!! Has everyone on this board had a bad experience?

Also, for those of you who took depo and did encounter side effects, when did they start occurring? How long after your first shot?

Any comments, good or bad, would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Aprile

Hi aprilej, welcome!

There have been members who have posted about their positive experience with Depo. While you are waiting for a reply, you might want to search the archives for positive Depo posts. I hope Depo works well for you.

Good luck!

Aprile,

I was one Depo for 7 years and had nothing but a great experience!! I went off of it because I was going to get amrried and didn't want to face 18 months of infertility before we wanted to get pregnant. I've been on the Patch for 18 months and just went off because we are TTC now.

I lost weight because I paid attention to what I ate. Depo does have a tendency to increase your appetite (at least my OBGYN said so), so I just paid attention and drank more water. I had no cycles and no cramping or breast tenderness. It was WONDERFUL!!
