Horror stories

Oh my goodness, I just read all of the comments above, and I am scared for my life! I couldnt imagine bleeding non-stop for 6 months, cramps included! I am so grateful that I already have irregular periods to begin with. I only see my period once ever 3 or 4 months, so no birth control for me. Actually my doctor wanted me to go on birth control to "regulate my periods" but I said no thanks, im happy the way it is right now... I doubt I could deal with having my period every month much less every day for 6 months, honey I am so sorry, and fever I do hope you get better soon as well... Im not sure what boils look like, but it doesnt sound good at all. There are some great oinments and such that might help rid you of your scars, I suggest looking that up before they become permanent...

that sounds horrible, didn't know side effects could be that bad. yeah, its really a must to research something before you take it. i know women who take depo, i'm going to suggest that they look this up first before continuing with it ;)

Well I don't have any horror stories about depo. I took it for 2 1/2 yrs. The only thing it really did for me was stop my periods while I was on it. Frankly that wasn't a bad thing to me at all, saved money on buying tampons for 2 yrs. When my period finally did start back it was really light. I went from having a 6 day period to having a 4 day period. After having my kids it only last about 2 1/2 days :)
