Ladies...have any of you had a Depo-provera shot? If so, any side effects????


Question: I've heard different stories from other girls. I wanna know if any of you have had any good or bad experiences with it! Thank you :)
Answers: Side effects include menstrual irregularities, absence of menstruation, spotty darkening of the skin, usually around or on the face, weight gain, pregnancy-like symptoms include sore breasts, nausea, fatigue, and abdominal discomfort, after the last injection of Depo Provera, a significant side effect is that it takes an average of 9 to 12 months to become pregnant. Other symptoms and side effects may include headache, dizziness, nervousness, some loss of scalp hair, some increase in body hair, decreased sex drive, leg cramps, and bloating. They may or may not be caused by Depo Provera . Report any of these side effects to your medical provider immediately.
most females gain weight, and their hair grows more in the 1st month
There are a few side effects. Absent periods is one. If you are on it for a while they will completely stop. Mood swings. I did a lot more crying when I was on it.

Other than those two things I really had no issues.
Well when I first took this shot I was in High School and it made me loss a lot of weight. I had stopped taking in for about 2years and when I started it back up my sophmore year in college, it made my hair really thin and even come out a little.
