1. No, it is suggested that you use a condom for the 2 weeks after receiving the shot.

2. No. You shouldn't get your period at all. You may experience some breakthrough bleeding, or you could bleed the whole time you are on it.

3. There have been a few cases of women getting pregnant while on the shot, but chances are very slim. With all birth control you have a risk of pregnancy. With depo, its slim, but if you do get pregnant while on the shot you're baby may have severe birth defects.

4. It's recommended that you only use Depo if you cannot take any other longterm birth control. It leads to osteoporosis.

5. Yes, but it may take up to 18 months before you are able to conceive.

Don't forget about the weight gain most women experience. I gained 20 lbs within the first month. My doctor said it was water weight, but 6 months later it's still there. Good luck with depo. You may want to check out this link. http://askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?dr...
