I've been on the depo shot for about 3 months now. Now, I am posting this, not to be negative, but to tell my experience with the depo shot.

Like I said I have been on it for three months. At first I was happy with it. I posted before all of my symptoms that I had when I first recieved it. I believe I posted when I was on it for about two weeks. Now, on my third month I am unhappy. My sex drive is completely gone. It hurts to have intercourse and I bleed after also. I have had an ordor from down there and I am not happy with it either. It makes me feel....Hmm, uncomfortable. I have also been bleeding for the last month. It is spotting, but still bleeding to me. I have to wear a pad all the time so that when I do spot, I don't bleed through. I was aware of all of these effects before I started it and was just hoping that I wouldn't be one of the people to have them. But, unfortunalty, I am. I have researched the other types of bc and I don't want to have to deal with the spotting and the hurt during intercourse. I want it to be pleasurable. I am unsure of what the clinic will say when I tell them I want to get off of it. Completely. I don't want them to try and convince me other wise. I would like to hear how other people are with such things as the patch and the pill. It would be nice to know that I won't be bleeding 90% of the time. So please, any information, experiences, would help greatly. I don't really want to get off of it, but I also don't want to be unhappy.
