    ok...
    so i got on depo in august and after a month of no period in september i started bleeding and clotting allot.. it is now going onto January and i am still bleeding i never went back for the second shot i was too scaredd that the bleeding wouldn't ever stop. me and my boyfriend joke that its the best birthcontol EVER. HAHAH. u know why ? CAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE SEX, CAUSE I WON'T STOP BLEEDING. it realy sux. it actually has caused us to fight all the time. cause all i ever do is yell at him evan if there isn't a real reason. i cry all the time about nothing and am depressed for no reason. i just recently moved in with him and have never had anyone treat me this good ever. but still i can't stop feeling sad and angry. and then oh what do you know i love him again two seconds later. it sux. i have cramping and back achs, headachs and my boobs hurt and im bloated, constipated exc. its like i have been on my period for 4 months. i promise after this i will never complain when i am on a normal period cycle again ever again.


    all i want is for it to stop.

    oh and to add to it we finally had sex when i wasn't bleeding much and guess what i tore. yup. icing on the cake. yup.

    what am i to do? any answheres. will the bleeding ever stop on its own? pleese. help.

    and what do i do about tearing? and yes i use lube. and we ease into sex...so. up.

    if anyone has any helpfull tips. i would greatly appreciate it

    oh and i do not recommend depo ever. i would rather use condoms then ever go back on depo. its not worth it , it also is really bad for your bones. and for the girls who are small like me and have brittle bones its not good for you at all. offcourse i found this all out after i took the shot.

      I have to say I have honestly never had any problems with depo and liked it as a form of birth control. I have taken extra calcium/vitamin D to prevent bone loss, but I no longer severely bleed like I used too. Birth control has different effects for different women. and only you and the gyn can find what works best for you. I had trouble with pill forms of birth control, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend it. What didn't work for me could easily work wonders for my sister (which was the case).

      If you're continually bleeding it could indicate something more is wrong and I would go see your doctor. That's not normal and every time I have stopped taking depo my period returned a couple months later and regulated themselves back out.

      Good luck.

        depo

        i went to my doc`s to go back on the pill and was quickly talked into having the depo jab instead,i have only had one jab,i was due my second on 12th dec which i never went for as i was horrified by the way the jab reacted in my body,i never put on any weight but the mood swings where terrible,i have always had,shall we say a very heathly appietite where sex is concerned lol,due to this jab i havnt been near my hubby in over 5 weeks,i had absolutly nooooo sex drive....it seems that in the last week my sex drive has started to slowly increase again but i am finding it hard to get my old swing back but hopefully this means that the depo is finally out of my system(fingers crossed)i would personally not recommend depo to ANYONE and i believe it should be banned,i know that is quite a harsh veiw but it made me the complete oppisite to how i naturally am
