Off Topic – Depo Injection

Just wondering if anyones been on this jab, how long for etc.. and then come off of it… how long does it take for things to start to go back to normal etc..

I’ve been on it i’d say nearly 2 years now and since then i’ve gained quite a bit of stubborn weight from it.. I go swimming 4 times a week.. eat healthily.. do flabelos yet ive still got a stubborn lil muffin top that won’t go away! It’s only been since I was on this injection so want to come off it.. plus it will help when I have my BA as mr K said it increases the risk of DVT although i shouldnt have to worry too much about it etc! x

I hated it I gained two stone in 5 months I only had it twice n it took about 6 weeks to lose the weight when I stopped altho I split with my ex too so weight loss n break up is normal xx

I lost weight on it, was on it for 1.5 years, some of my friends have piled on weight from it! The only downside was wanting a baby afterwards, still didn’t have a period after 7 months of my last 1 running out so had to take the pill to re-start my periods.that was 18 month ago n still no baby!xxx

Hi Hun, u should ask ur doctor about the new coil.. It’s like the implant but they put it in the same place as the metal coil and there is no weight gain side affects! I’m getting it done after my BA and u can keep it on for 5 years no periods or anything x

ahh might consider that thanks hun.. only on the jab to stop awful period pains and cause i had been on pill for too long.. now ive got used to not having a period at all so not gonna enjoy that side of things! But I’m meeting my doc fri to talk through all my options! x

Yeah no periods was fab! My sis as just had the coil last month, she’s bled non stop & said it was the most painful thing she’s ever had done!xxx

I’ve got the implant now had no probs but thinkin bout the non hormonal coil xx
