>>��>>��>>���I am living the same nightmare! I was on the shot from May 1995 to June 1999 and I had no period that whole time. I got married in June of 1999 and stopped taking the shot.I never got my period back until May of 2000. That was 5 years with no period. My husband and I want a baby so much but I was told it could take up to 1 1/2 years AFTER I got my period to conceive. I would never suggest this birth control method to anyone. It has caused me nothing but misery.
>>��>>��I BEG TO DIFFER A SLIGHT BIT. I HAVE BENN ON THIS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. YES THERE HAS BEEN WEIGHT GAIN AND A PERSISTANT MIGRAINE FOR A DAY WHEN YOU PERIOD SHOULD OF STARTED BUT I CANNOT SAY ANYTHING BAD. I DON'T LIKE THE WEIGHT GAIN, BUT MY LIFE IS BETTER. I WENT OFF THE SHOT AND DELIVERED MY DAUGHTER WITHIN A YEAR. IT JUST DOES NOT WORK THE SAME WITH EVERYONE. I WANTED TO TRY LUNELLE BUT SINCE I HAVE HAD GOOD LUCK HERE I WILL STAY. SORRY FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T HAD GOOD LUCK. I PROBABLY WILL NOT EXPERIENCE MENOPAUSE BECAUSE THIS IS THE VERY SHOT THAT THEY GIVE FOR THAT. MY DOCTOR GIVES HUNDREDS OF THESE OUT FOR THAT ALONE. HERE AND THERE ARE A FEW THAT DON'T WORK, BUT EVERYONE IN THAT MIDLIFE PLACE, GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
I ALSO FORGOT TO SAY THAT FOR TEN YEARS I HAD A HERNIA THAT WAS CAUSING INTERNAL BLEEDING. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THIS SHOT I WOULD HAVE DIED AND THAT WAS FROM MY SURGEON AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. MY RED BLOOD CELL COUNTS WERE AT ABOUT 7.5 AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOUBLE. NO THANKS TO THE IRON SHOTS EVERY DAY EVERY 3 MONTHS. THAT WAS A BLOODY NIGHTMARE, BUT I AM STILL HERE AND I CAN WALK AND BREATHE AND KNOW I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE BACK WHEN IT WASN'T EVEN LEGALIZED HERE. DID ANYONE THINK TO LOOK AT RESEARCH ON SOME OF US THAT TOKK THIS FOR SO LONG? I DOUBT IT. TAKE TIME AND LOOK AROUND. DO YOU ALWAYS BUY THE FIRST HOSE YOU SEE OR THE FIRST CAR ON THE LOT? THINK ABOUT IT. THE RESEARCH HAS BEEN THERE FOR YEARS.
