Hooray for people who actually research medical procedures before actually getting them done!!
For the rest...should have Googled it.
This post made people mad. Understandably. On the other hand, it's not always what you say, it's how you say it. This issue probably causes people a lot of distress. Most people trust their doctors to give them the correct medical information, so won't google their medication or treatment. Gently suggesting that other people read up before getting this done, or giving links for people to check on is helpful. A sarcastic and personal attack is not.0 -

You're a d**k, when you get a vagina then your opinion matters. Have a seat.
Do you disagree with my opinion?

She may be venting but she is 100% right! No vagina no comment
Do you have any idea how many male OBGYNs there are? :huh:
Begone with thine logic, and hastily, knave!
In England, not many, although there are some. And some men take an interest in their GF's issues, and may therfore wish to comment / ask questions.0 -

I'm sorry. Do you not know how to use Google?How sweet of you, point is I don't want your opinion, and "hence" why I added "Ladies only". I have tried looking it up before, but nothing seemed similar or close to my situation and didn't find much.
I don't have to even look to know that there should be thousands of sites with this information. It is a very, very, very common side effect of that particular form of BC.0 -

I meet your anatomical criteria and I think it would have been good to ask these questions prior to accepting the drug. No offense, you know....live and learn or whatever.
sure it'd be ideal if everyone were as obsessive an advocate as it seems one needs to be to get through the medical system, but not everyone happens to be, and i think it's incumbent on docs to maybe not be so cavalier re informed consent when sticking someone with a long-acting drug like that.
& the plural of anecdote is data.
It takes 5 minutes to research and get the lowdown on a drug. As a woman, is isn't obsessive. Especially when dealing with your reproductive health. I agree that this question should have been asked prior. You can even google a list of questions to bring to the obgyn in regards to starting birth control.0 -
You're a bully thats all you are .. she simply came on here asking if anyone had a similar situation .. since you DONT have a VAGINA I would say you know absolutley nothing about it. So take your INGNORANT and useless googled information and save it for the next MAN who decides he wants to be an expert on birth control
Not female, don't have a vagina but stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
And, for the lovely woman I quoted above, less caffeine hon. And spell check. Definitely spell check.0 -
Forum posts like this deteriorate my faith in humankind. Both from needlessly antagonistic jerks, and man-hating trolls. Y'all have a nice day!
Who's TOM?

It's been about 7 months since my last depo shot, and my periods are still messed up. I skipped a few months, and the last two, I've had periods that lasted two to three weeks. I'll be a very happy camper once this is completely out of my system.
And as far as researching it before going on it, there's so much dispute among doctors about the side effects, and so much variation between how different women react, that it hardly matters.
The first time I was on it, I went right back to periods as normal as soon as I stopped. The second time, I might have skipped a month, then went back to normal. This time, it's been bloody hell. With emphasis on both words.0 -

Kind of what I was thinking. If you are going to be messing with your body, perhaps you should find out what you are doing to it first.0 -
I mixed up the "e" in one word and my punctuation sucks so sue me, am I writing a university paper here? . All I’m trying to say is she came asking a simple question and one man in particular got very sarcastic and snooty about it all. Thing is this person does this all day long, I’ve seen him in other forums doing the same thing. He’s a bully. I’m just calling it as I see it. Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion but why does it have to be mean and nasty? Were all up in arms about this bullying epidemic and here we are ADULTS doing the same thing. It’s not right.0

I know this has already been said, but this is a PUBLIC forum not owned by you or the OP. :noway: You do not have the right to to tell someone they cannot comment. So either ignore what you don't want to read, or turn the thread into another useless flame war. Your choice.
I did the depo shot a couple of times. TOM was absent for 6 months after I stopped. Not a big deal. A woman does not have to have a period to be healthy, as long as it not caused by a serious underlying issue. And if the OP is worried about that, a doctor's visit is in order.0 -
I must be the only woman on the planet that Depo likes....
I took the shot for 10 years with a small break about year 5 in the summer (not by choice as they were short on supply) I had to wait 2 months over my normal shot....
I had my TOM immediately...after almost 5 years without it.....ick.
Now my friend was on it for about 6 months she waited 1 year for her's to return.
My sister was on it for 3months waited 3months for a "normal" cycle.
It says in the pamphlet that it can do that and the time will vary for everyone. I wouldn't get too worried about it.
As for the rest of it...nope you can't control who posts you can request Ladies only...but if a man wants to comment doesn't mean it has to be taken seriously or read at all....
btw googling it doesn't help because you do get thousands of hits and who is to say which one is right.0 -
LOL .. I have to stop reading these forums!!! Its causing stomach fat by raising my cortisone levels :grumble:0

Just throwing this out there... Whierd has probably gathered more research in 20 minutes about the Depo shot than most women do that have RECEIVED the shot. Just because he doesn't have a vagina, doesn't mean he doesn't know how to read.0

Side effects from contraception methods affect everyone differently. Some are more common than others. The decision to have the depo shot over other contraception methods was made between her and her health care provider and no one else's opinions should have an effect on that, no matter what expertise their Google "research" gave them.0

It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it's told.0 -
Its a birth control shot that EVERYONE reacts differently to. How on earth is googling it going to tell her how SHE will react to it?
if everyone reacts differently to it, how on earth will only asking vaginas on a message board yield better results?0 -

I'm flattered that I seem to have made an impression on you, despite it being negative. It is true that I'm sarcastic and use dry humor often, but it's almost exclusively reserved for when obviously silly threads are started. I do not support or coddle people. I do, however, answer and help dozens of people per day with nutrition and fitness related advice.0 -
