Depo was horrible for me after I had my daughter. Once I got off of it, my periods were abnormal for years..And now Im pretty sure I am unable to get pregnant. Been with my now husband for 13 years, and no protection, no baby. If anyone is wondering Im 31..so its fine for me to be trying for a baby now that my daughter is 14..

@mazzystar131 wow i'm so sorry to hear that. i definitely want to have another child far down the road. how long have you been on the depo and when did you stop getting it?

Oh my gosh!!!! How horrible, I'm so sorry to hear about how your body reacted to this. I just got my first depo shot last week but I was never warned about the possible weight gain or lack of a period. Can't wait to hear how the shot works out for you. I hope the cysts go away on their own!

@cathysagal3 i'm actually excited to have no periods, except for the constant worry that the shot didn't work or something. but i use double protection anyway. i hope they go away too, they're getting really painful by the day. thanks for your concern :)

Wow, we got our around the same time in November! lol. I currently have Implanon and I hate it also. I too have had frequent bleeding. I have been period free for about 2 weeks now, but I do plan to have it removed soon. Sometimes I feel like I am having pregg symptoms (bloating, cravings, exhaustion). They make it sounds great, but it isn't all of that.

@SweetCheeks6883 omg! i had the pregnancy symptoms too. i was always exhausted, wanting to take naps, and i have cravings all the time! especially for sushi and cream soda. lol. those are the recent ones. but definitely get it taken out. i'm glad i did.

Wow :( I'm sorry to hear that your body reacted that way to Implanon! I've had mine in for a year and a half now. It has completely stopped my period from the day I got it put in. I've experienced no weight gain and no noticeable bad side effects. However, when I went on the Depo shot (I was on it for 2 years?) I gained almost 50 lbs. Also, you're going to need to take calcium supplements with the depo because depo makes your bones weak/brittle.

I hope the poster of this video realizes that Depo and Implanon both have the exact same hormonal compound (progestin), and therefore if the implanon is causing fibroid cysts, the depo will as well. If it doesn't, it was something other than the hormone causing them. I have been on Implanon for a little over 3 years now (yes, that means I'm on my second one!), and I absolutely love it. I haven't had a period in the entire time I've had it, and I have no other side effects.

Though it's unfortunate that this birth control method had this effect on you I'm glad I watched this video because who knows what method I would have turned to. Now I know not to trust Implanon, who knows what it would have done to me if I got it. Hope you recover soon. :)

I'm on the implanon and I think it is fantastic! I tried Nuvaring and I vomited for about a month. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you.I love it, but my friend who got it about a month before i did has been on her period for six months. It is truly amazing how women differ so much.

[Kittin127]

[abbysmommy30]

I have this birth control, and ive had the SAME problems, when i get incurance this thing is coming out! Ive had alot of problems! Thank you because i thought i was the only one! I hope it gets better, because i know how it is!

[brookeslusser]

your body probably wont agree with that birthcontrol or any other birth control, I would consider natural birth control methods, such as planning and scheduling your ovulation, and marking it on the calender. Not having sex on the 4 days you ovulate.

[Macarronlicieuse]

find the birthcontrol that is good for you! :) I tried patch...irritated my skin and breasts, took the pill but as a student with a bunch of classes...not so good! the shot worked perfectly! I loved it :) had it for 2 years now....but i want to leave it because of the bone problems...and I will get the implant! :)
