Im looking to get some advice. Ive had lots of problems lately.
I've been experiences some nausea, slight fever, Breast tenderness, Headaches, fatigue, stomach bloating, painful stomach cramps, lower back pain, and some dizyness. Not sure about possibility for being pregnant, as I've had a normal period 3 days after the last time I'd had intercourse. Im not late for my period, but I feel like crap, any ideas?
Was on Depo for about 2 years prior to this, stopped taking it last April, didnt start having period again until November or December, and they've been pretty heavy, and irregular, having more then 1 within a months time, and not like they were before...not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not. |

Firstly why did you stop taking Depo Provera. And did you take advice from any professional advice before you started taking these injection? If you have than he/she must have warned you about the following side effects.
Depo Provera is 97-99.7% effective as birth control. It does not protect against reproductive tract infections, including HIV/AIDS. There are some serious health risks with Depo Provera, so be sure to get all the facts in advance.
Your Health
Due to the risk of serious health problems, women with the following conditions should not use Depo Provera.
* Unexplained vaginal bleeding
* Known or suspected pregnancy
Depo Provera may not be recommended for women who are planning on becoming pregnant in the near future, are concerned about weight gain, have liver disease, gallbladder disease, or a history of depression. Study the risks and talk with your health care practitioner.
Health Risks:
Studies released in 2004 show that Depo Provera is associated with a loss of bone density resulting in an increased risk of osteoporosis. The bone loss appears not to be reversed when the woman goes off Depo Provera. Depo is not recommended for long term use and especially not recommended when the young woman is still growing her bones. Women on Depo are advised to exercise and take in plenty of calcium. If you have taken Depo Provera for more than two years, you might want to get a bone density test.
My advice to you is get to a doctor ASAP. |

Women on any kind of birth control often experience increased bleeding and discharge after stopping birth control.
I think it may help you to consult your OB/GYN or Primary Care Doctor for some reassurance. |
