I don't have any of the symptoms that you two had other than the painful sex, and that was only through the month of july. As for the decision to stop taking depo, I really can't make that decision. I am still covered under my parents insurance and my mother won't let me use any other method. =( When i asked the nurse she said that the bleeding should get less and less the longer i'm on it. I do plan on switching methods after two years of using it because of the bone density side effect. (or whatever they call it) Other than that I have been pretty healthy since using depo, and for the time being I guess I'll just have to stick with it and see what happens.

Thanks for your replies and concerns,
