>>��>��i just went on the shot about five weeks ago and the only side effect i've had so far was the continuation of my period. i'm finally stopping. i'm very concerned though with other side effects. i have tried to find statistical information about them but am having trouble finding it. i was wondering exactly what are my chances of having hair loss? how many women actually experience it? also, i have a precancerous growth and my cervix and i saw that depo can increase causes of cervical cancer, but my doctor didn't seem concerned about giving me the shot. should i be worried? or is it a very slim chance?
>>>I also wanted to comment. I received my first shot in August. My second is scheduled for November. I may opt for another type of birth control. These have been my symptoms...hair loss, fatigue, mood swings, and an overall sense of feeling overwhelmed. Tears come quite easy these last few months. I have not yet stopped bleeding. I was relieved to see how the shot has effected others in similiar ways because I thought I was just losing my mind. If anyone can find any research on the side effects, please let me know. I have been unsuccessful so far. Thanks!
