depo-provera (3 month contraceptive injection) anyone been on it?

[Danni]

I was on depo for around 3 years before I met Dh. It was fantastic.

No bleeding, nothing. It did take me a while to fall pregnant afterwards, but I think that has got to do with DH as well me.

thanks heaps girls.

I did have a big talk with my doc about it. See i was on the mini pill (Bfing) then i went to the full one and i kept forgetting taking it. So i went and seen him today and he talked me through my options and to me.. i thought the injections were the best way to go. But saying that.. I have PCOS n i didnt want it to stuff up my system completley.

As for the implanon and mirena, i also dont like the thought of foreign objects being in me. Also Implanon last for 3 years and we will prob want another bub around then and having the injection i dont have to go get it taken out IYKWIM.

I feel ok atm, my arm is just a little sore.

the pain in your arm will go in a day lol I remember trying to drive home and it felt like someone had punched me in the arm!

I think the common side effects are the weight gain and the crankyness. I didn't get either of these.
One of the common GOOD side effects in the no AF lol no way I was complaining about that!

Hunny, the best advice I can give you is to have the injection in your bottom!! Seriously, you won't feel a thing. They jst put it in the top of you buttocks area near your hip iykwim?
