female only Depo Shot

[Brandi Lewis 6]

Oh boy. I had an iud and loved it for 3 years then at my last pap it was out of place so it had to be removed. One of the arms broke off inside my uturus. Oh joy. Anyhow so they gave me the drop shot. All was good until this month. I have been so hungry and craving so much bad food and giving in to it. I will not be taking another shot I can tell u that. Anyone else gain and have terrible cravings while on the depo??? I'm going to have to go on a Protein shake detox from all the crap I have eaten the past two weeks!!!

I was on it for a year and it wasn't till thus year I started to gain weight. I was suppose to get a shot in March never did and I still haven't seen my "friend"

I'm glad you mentioned this. I hate that I have to worry so much about getting pregnant!!!!!! I am on the pill but since I had my surgery I can't remember to take it. I don;t want an IUD for the same reason you had to take yours out. I am lost!

IMHO I hate it. I was on it for nine months and I feel like it screwed me up. I will never get that thing again! And I gained 20 pounds. Ugh ;(

I have never used any type of bc, my husband and I used condoms, then we stopped because we decided we wanted kids, after 3 years with no luck, since surgery we started using condoms again. I just really do not want to use other methods of bc...thoughts?

I think it's all up to you. I personally have the para guard IUD and am very happy with it.

I loved loved my iud. I had the para gard. Loved it until I got it removed and one arm got hung up broke off and is now imbedded into my uturus wall. I'm one of those rare cases. Now have to have surgery to get it removed. They tried a few weeks ago to remove while I was awake. They could not get it. It was the most awful pain as I have ever experienced.

I think I'm far enough out now 19 months. 35 just got married for the first time last month. I think no more bc for us. Going to try our hand at getting pregnant. Soon as I get this iud arm removed that is.

I'm soooo sorry, how did it get in ur arm? I'm confused

[Brandi Lewis 6]

Lol. Not in my arm. One of the arms of the iud broke off in my uterus when they removed it.

Wow I'm retarded. Sorry that happened to you. I have a fear of it breaking ;/. Hopefully it won't.

I've used the nuvaring for 6 years and I really like it. You only have to think about bc once a month and can skip your period if you need.

Although after 6 years, I'm ready to not be on bc and my hubby and I are looking into more permanent o options.
