What are your thoughts on the Depo shot??!


Question: What are your thoughts on the Depo shot!?!?
I was going to get the Mirena IUD, but ive heard a few bad stories, so figured the shot is a little less invasive lol!. How did you go!? Did you have any bad side effects (or good ones!?)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
well, i have the mirena and it's good!. but as for the depo, it causes not in everybody but my friends, all had bleeding constantly, and doctors told me if you use it for a long time, it causes bone problems!. so if i were you i would do some more research!. And are you sure the bad stories you heard were from the mirena!? not the copper one!. cuz the copper one is the one with the problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Loved it! No weight problems (I actually lost weight on Depo), no period, no pills!. The only bad this is that (1) don't stay on Depo for more than 2 years because after your second year it effects your bone density and (2) after your last injection your period may not return for 3-18 months so if you want to get pregnant in the next 1-3 years don't start Depo!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've been on depo shots for two years for sometime back and i wouldn't stop spotting!.!. it felt like i was having a very light period everyday!! horrible!. i heard most woman stop having their period all together, and i was waiting for that day but it never came!. i got tired of my everyday spotting so i quit depo!.
also i wore contacts at the time and i kinda caused some small blood clog in my eyes after1 year on it!. it went away after about 3 months off depo!.

I'm now on a 10 years IUD with no hormones!. i like it but when I'm on my period i cramp alot!. when i was on pills or depo i rarely cramp!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have definitely heard some horror stories about Depo!. I would not suggest it personally!. Keep your body cycling the way it is supposed to, thats what I think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i had horrible periods on it,like months at a time and mood swings but everyone acts differently!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have heard only good things about it!. kjlWww@Answer-Health@Com
