Any advice is greatly appreciated. I had 2 depo shots and decided it's something I never ever want to do again. I was scheduled for my third shot August 22nd, but I didn't go. I've been having all sorts of pain since getting the shot. My joints ache most of the time. I wake up every morning feeling nauseated. And the worst part is, I've gained over 20lbs. My question is how long does it usually take for your body to get back to normal. My period still hasn't started and I'm afraid it won't for a long time. Nothings changed, I can't lose the weight, my body still hurts, and I still feel sick to my stomach. I'm still on an emotional rollercoaster. I look in the mirror and I don't even see myself. It sounds dumb, but I don't even feel like a woman anymore. I think that has alot to do with not having periods. I see myself as this monster who use to be me. Now I'm not trying to throw myself a pity party, but I'm hurt. I tried to talk to my husband about this and he said he thinks it's all psychological. It's all in my head and I let myself gain weight and just need somthing to blame. I can't even begin to explain how hurtful that was. As I said before, any advice is greatly appreciated. I know I'm not the only woman dealing with these issues, I guess I just have to hear it to really believe it.

It's not all in your head, there are a lot of women out there with the same problems with Depo.
Hi momma_starr,
BIG hugs to you!
