I'm really scared HELP!
| Thu, 09-16-2004 - 11:00am |
I have recently decided to get put on depo but I'm scared to death of shots but i can't remember to take my pill and i get messed up on it and then it takes me forever to get back right. I was just wondering if it was true that you can get the shot in your hip and what i exactly i should expect from it.
Thanx,

When I was on Depo, my doctor gave me my shots in my hip just above my buttocks. It wan't too painful and she rubbed the area for a couple minutes after giving it to me to help with the injection pain. It really isn't too bad, I hate shots also! It's pretty quick. Hope this helps you.
you sound just like me! I wasn't going to get on the shot because i also have a fear of needles. and Yes you can get it in your hip and thats where i get mine. i first went on it because of its most popular side effect NO PERIOD! its not always that way for everybody but it takes away menstral cramps and bleeding in most cases... ive been on it for about 3 years now and im only 18....dont fret and when you go to your Doctor ask them all your questions...they are paid to answer them!
good luck
As for the injection, it's 2 seconds and no pain at all.
