Re: Anyone tried Depo shot?

Last update here. I have a dr appointment next week to tell my doctor that I am NOT going to be continuing the shot and see what she wants to do now instead of waiting until August when the next shot is due. Have had almost a perpetual headache since about two days after the shot. Also have had one really bad migraine (almost went to ER) and two more bad headaches/mild migraines. Not willing to trade one issue for another. Plus would rather spot and have occasional cramps than this continuous pain. I also have an ongoing pelvic ache for most of the month and some sharp pains that have just started. I know there is nothing I can do to counteract the side effects, but am a teacher and want to get things settled ASAP. Especially if we discuss surgery of any type.

It's too bad that have these side effects, at least guessing side effects and not taking the risk that just a huge coincidence, as it has controlled the spotting pretty good so far. Just not willing to trade feeling like crap and in more pain for less bleeding. Not a great trade off. Not sure what will happen, but not going to try anymore birth control methods. Should be an interesting appointment.
