have any of you took the depo shot???? HELP!!

kristelpoole

I was on it (Depo Lupron, but they are similar) for 6 months about 6 years ago after my first endometriosis surgery. It was hell. Did I gain weight? Yes. I had been between 125-138 my whole life and I got to about 150 in that time. But that wasn't even the worst - I was a moody, terrible person with less than 0 sex drive. I was self-conscious, cried a lot and will never do it again.

When I had my most recent endo surgery in December, the doctor asked if I wanted to go on Depo again. I started crying - she got the point. I've been on Nuvaring for years and I do really like it. We customized it so I only get a period once every 3 months, I've seen no adverse side effects, it's EASY and it helps manage my endo pain. Can't go wrong.
