>>��>>Help, I have a tough decision to make. I already have two children and I lost one shortly after birth, my husband and I tried condoms and I took the pill for years but I just can't seem to keep up with them anymore I'm just so tired of them. I know that I am not in the right emotional state to make a permanent decision like getting my tubes tied but I need something that is effortless. I was seriously considering depo against my husbands wishes, he thinks it's too dangerous and this site is beginning to convince me too. I need to know that there are more than two people that didn't have any problems. What to do what to do!

>>��
>>��No one told me the long term effects of the depo shot not even my doctor. I only had 3 shots then my husband and I decided we would like to have a baby. Then I found out it could take 6 months to a year to even have my period again and there is nothing the doctor can do you just have to wait it out. Its very depressing. If you want to have kids or you dont I would advise anyone not to go on the deprovera shot!!!!

>>I have been on depo for two years. After my first shot, I bleed for weeks, just like I did after my son was born. After my second shot, I spotted when it was time for my period. After that, I no longer have a period at all. I only spot one day every month. I have not experienced any weight gain. I am hungry alot, but I control when I eat and how much I eat. I am 26 years old 5'5" with a four year old son, and I only weigh 129 pounds! Depo is not for everyone. It affects each individual differently.
