Thanks to everyone for the responses.
For those that have had periods eliminated with the shot- how long did it take? I hoped it would kick in the first month, but sadly no luck. Ugh.
For those that became pregnant (or know someone who did) while on the shot- a few questions. Did you always get it on the scheduled date? From what I’ve read online most failure is related to delayed doses. And how did you finally find out about the pregnancy? It turns out my cousin got pregnant while on depo, didn’t know until late, and then had a lot of complications (not necessarily related to the meds, but traumatic nonetheless).
Thanks so much, Womens!
