Answer 1

I was on the depo shot for a year and a half. When I first started taking the shot I bled for about a month straight. Irregular periods, heavy bleeding, and abdominal discomfort are some of the side effects of the shot.

God, this sounds so familar. I gained 90 pounds!!! It was terrible!!  I hated it... Please get to the Dr's as quickly as possible. You may be pregnant, and miscarrying.

Best of luck, and GET OFF THE DEPO
