>>��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.>> Three months ago I started going to a new doctor. I had always taken the pill, but started having problems. So my dr. strongly recommended the depo shot. I asked many questions, but apparently the wrong ones. The week after, my step-mom and I were talking about the shot. She had been on it for years and told me that she researched it while in nursing school.Come to find out, it can make us steril. I'm 22 and about to be married, I have a 2 year old son and due to surgury I have one ovary left. Reading everyones stories made me burst into tears because we want to have more kids. Is there any worry after one shot?
