I'm curently on the depo. been on it for about a year. I haven't had any side effects but all of you are really scaring me & some of your stories even made me cry. I'm currently engage & my biggest dream is to have many kids. My biggest nightmare would be not to be able to ever have kids. Well I just wanted to thank all of you for opening my eyes. I'm going to stop the depo.

hey you guys. the shot sucks. after having a child at a early age i decided to get on the shot. i was on the shot for a little over a year. i gained 20 pounds within a few months and had a period like every month. i have been off of it for a while and since i have been off i have not had any periods at all for two months. i have been trying to get pregnant and no sucess.the shot really messed up my cycle and more than likely having more children will take a while. i do not recomend the shot to anyone!!!

hi my name is nicole and in dec 2004 i got on the depo shot and in jan 2005 i had a miscarraige (obviously got pregnant right after getting on shot?). anyway i got off the shot in march 2005 and had a two day period and those kinds of periods lasted until sept 2005 and in oct 2005 they started lasting one day. then in dec 2005 i didn't have one and haven't had one since and i am not pregnant so i think it had to do with that shot. even though i am ttc. and i don't seem to be very fertile. i have a two year old and a miscarraige two months before i got pregnant with my two year old.now my doctor is giving me provera (pills) to see if i will have my period. if anyone has any advice to givei will be willing to recieve. thanks and babydust

I'm a student journalist doing a story on women getting pregnant whilst on depo. I personally take it 5 years depo, then2 years norplant and now on my 3rd depo jab again (I don't want children). However, I was recently quite surprised when the nurse sat there and said IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO GET PREGNANT WHILST ON DEPO (as long as your within the 12 weeks). Any one who has any info about getting pregnant whilst on depo, I would be very grateful if you could send me some details (email: [email protected]). Thanks

I started getting the shot at age 18. I got off the shot last June, I got pregnant in November. It effects people different ways. I was told when I was on the shot if I stopped getting it I still wouldn't get pregnant for 10 years, however; I got pregnant within 5 months.

I am 18 in 2 months and at first I awsn't trying to conceive, but I wasn't getting pregnant and I do not use condoms. Since then I was on the birth control shot, but I have been off for a year now and I am trying but I just can't seem to get pregnant. I don't think it's my boyfriend because he has a baby already. I think it may be something wrong. I may be young but I really want this, I feel as if I need someone to care for more like a small life that I can call mine. please give me advise. Tell me what to do.

I was on the depo shot. I stopped getting the shot and it took me a little over a year to get pregnant. My advice is make sure you are trying when you are ovulating and don't try so hard or often. When you know you are ovulating try every 12 hours, because it takes that long for his sperm count to go back up! that is what I did and now I have a beautiful 9 month old! GOOD LUCK!!

I was on Depo for 4 years when I got off to get pregnant. The Dr. said it would take 8 to 12 months. It took exactly 8 months to the day for me to get pregnant.

Emma01.. you said you were on depo for "a few months" and then you said you had five shots. Depo is only supposed to be taken 1 X every three months, so you either overdosed or you took it for more than a year.Just wanted to clear that up . . . . I also was on depo for 3 yrs. Got off just over a year ago and have been ttc for 3 mos. So far nothin. I am still optimistic though. Gl to all TTC

I was on the shot for about 2 1/2 years. While on it I had no periods and was experiencing enormous weight gain and hair loss. I was also experiencing pain to my legs when I brushed against something or a little pressure was applied say by my toddler at the time. I discontinued the shot and was unable to get preganant until about 7 years later after I discontinued the shot. But I am still having pain to my legs that is probably from a break down in bone mass. So I agree with everyone, this shot does cause infertility, it is hurting people and the company needs to be held accountable for these problems their product has caused alot of people.
