Try going on the pill instead of the shot.. If you don't like the idea of taking pills each day, ask your doctor about and iud (which is an implant). This way you aren't taking any hormones and your system might regulate out. I gained a few pounds on depo, but have lost some of it finally.

I am on yasmin and it is hyped as helping you lose a little bit of weight. I haven't noticed any weight loss but I know some people that use it do. The only catch is that it is water weight you are losing instead of actual fat. Yasmin contains a diuretic and it helps the body rid itself of excess water.

Okay so I was supposed to go back and get my second depo shot on January 5th but I didnt because I didnt like how the shot made me feel, it made me really sick. It has been almost 4 months since I have had a period and its starting to scare me. I have been feeling really sick lately and really moody and crying for no reason. I got a pregnancy test and it came back negative and the doctor told me to not worry and go back on the pill so I did, should I be worried? and does anyone know how long it takes for your periods to become normal again? I really dont want to be pregnant, its freaking me out.

After DEPO, your period could take 6-8 months to return, because depo is so strong.

It is GOOD that you went back on the pill.

You should not be worried because a pregnancy test was negative, and you went back on the pill.

It is unnecessary to wait for a period in order to begin BC pills.

I was supposed to get my next shot in December too, but I've had nothing aside from two incidents of spotting and that's it.

I'M not worried because I KNOW this is what is NORMAL.
