Hi i'm new. I'm hope to get some answers about some wierd symptoms I've had since I've discontinued the shot. I was on it since oct 2000 and had my last shot in june of 2007. I took it faithfully. My husband and I are ttc so I didn't go back in sept for the shot. Since I've come off it I've had no period or spotting. But I've noticed my breasts were sensitive, especially my nipples. That lasted about 2 weeks and now they are not as sensitive anymore. I've taken a few HP tests but they were neg. My last test being around christmas. I'll take another in a couple weeks. Anyways my husband and I have noticed a huge difference in myself. Before I had no sex drive and horrible mood swings like I was bipolar or something. Seems like the depression I had before isn't as bad anymore. I hoping all these good signs are indicators that my body is getting back to normal. If anyone has any suggestions or similar experiences I would like to hear them. My doctor never said anything about side effects so I kind of feel like I'm going crazy.

I have been on depo for four years. i am twenty years old and just recently got married. my last shot was in august or september. In december i had my period come back but very irregular. My breasts are so sore im not talking period sore im talking im waking up in the middle of the night crying casue they hurt so bad. im wanting to have kids so bad. how long does it take to get pregnant after depo and did anyone else suffer from major breast pain? it would be so helpful if someone would get back to me.

I was on depo for three and a half years up to November of 2007. I have been off for two months. I have breast swelling and pain, and I am experiencing nausea daily. It feels like I am pregnant. I had a period in January for 7 days then off for 7 days then on for 5 days then off again. I am hoping to get pregnant again soon. I have had no problems when I went off with my first two children nor did I have these symptoms before with either of them, but I was also only on it for up to 3 yrs. It has been interesting.

I was on Depo for four and a half years and had my last shot in Sept. I have not yet gotten my period but am definitely experiencing the extremely painful breasts and nipples. My question is about the weight. I gained about 25 pounds over the time of being on the shot. Can anyone who has been through this tell me if the weight came off after going off teh shot. Thanks for your help - its so comforting to hear it from people going through the same thing.

Hi,I had my last depo in July last year and I had my routine smear today. Told the nurse about my extremely sore nipples, weight gain and the 'feeling' of being pregnant and she said that it is not a side affect and asked if I had done a pregnancy test??? I have done 2 in the last few weeks and both negative!
How can all the responses on here about side affects be false???? Was she talking rubbish?
