The docotors believe I may have a progesterone problem due to Depo Provera. I was on Depo for 6 years and went off the shot in Sept. Does anyone know if the effects of this shot can linger and cause lower progesterone levels?

I had had baby in Sept 04 and then went on Depo Provera a month later. A year later I started getting manic depressant and just didnt feel right. This was the second time that this happened to me on Depo Provera so I immediately went off. I let my system clean out for a month and then went onto Lo Ovoral pills and into the 8th day of the second pack I started to get these horrible migraines. I have never been sickly or have had headhaches in my life.

I was given a shot of depo-provera yesterday...and when I asked about side affects all I was told was nausea, headache, and dizziness. After reading quite a few articles online, it seems there are a lot more serious side affects than I was led to believe. I've been having lots of chest pain and shortness of breath, but the doctor doesn't seem to think it's related to the shot.

I wasn't planning on using any birth control after I had Lily, we were just gonna go with natural family planning. Well at my doc appt today he suggested the depo provera shot may help with milk production since I'm having an issue with it due to anemia. I went ahead and got the shot becuase I figured it was worth trying to see if it WILL help AND with the anemia problems right now it's probably best that I elminate as much risk of pregnancy as possible for awhile.

While taking Depro, my symptoms included excessive weight gain, major circulation issues (my arms would fall asleep repeatedly-very painful), chest pain, dry skin, strange rashes, low sex drive (high libido prior to receiving the shot) body aches, headaches, emotional swings, irregular bleeding, varicose veins, headaches, weakness, dizzy spells, nausea, blurry vision, and visually noticed loss of muscle tone. I gained 25 lbs. in a period of approx.

I have been on depo for 11 years. I would be due for my next shot on 9/27 but my Doctor has advised that I stop having it. She has been treating me for migraines and depression with Imitrex (when needed) and a daily dosage of Prozac of 10mg. The Imitrex thankfully, works, and the migraines have also been lessened by the Prozac.

I went to the ER last ngiht with severe chest pain and a sharp pain shooting down my left arm. They did tests to see if I had a blood clot and they were all negative. So they sent me home with an anti-inflammatory and pain meds. They said I have a lot of inflammation around my chest wall but couldn't explain why, they said maybe the Lupron is causing it. I emailed my obgyn this morning and she has never heard of this either. Just wanted to ask here incase others have had it. thanks.

Hello, Menstrual irregularities are known side effects of depo provera. This can be in the form of excessive bleeding or less bleeding. Depo-Provera is a long-acting progestin (hormone) form of birth control and after using depo shots for an year atleast half of the women were not menstruating. The effects of the depo provera may last after several months after the last injection. You need to consult a gynaecologist for the same. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

It hurt so bad that I had to cross my arms over my chest and lean over into my lap just to clear my throat because coughing hurt too bad. A couple days passed and the pain started to improve.

And im having these pains in my mid and right upper abdomen and radiating pain through my chest, and all through my right shoulder and upper back. My doctor figured it was textbook case gall bladder disease, so he did an ultrasound of my gall bladder, liver, stomach and kidneys, but everything was fine. I took a series of blood tests and ct scans and everything is working fine. I wanted to know if maybe my symptoms are side effects of using the depo provera shot.

Hi i have the very same problem and also suffer with anxiety so i wonder if the two are linked as i have only had both problems a year and am generally much better but it seems if i have a bad day (not too many now) then the shoulder and breast pain come back, i get the pain in my breast first this really worries me and i get sore the next day under my arm and then the shoulder pain follow's, i think the key is try not to worry about it too much and see it as another anxiety symtom if all test's

I was having a hormonal imbalance since January 2012. I had to get on Depo Provera to stop the constant period. My skipped heartbeats have been better since my 2nd injection and changing my diet, dropping caffeine, and taking a half of a water pill. So far my palpitations are at bay.

I was in the hospital a few days ago with stabbing left side chest pain. All tests came back fine but do have to follow up with a cardiologist and have an ECHO. Not sure if the chest pain is related to the pelvic mass but I would say so. I think my body is just worn out from being in pain for so long and taking strong pain meds for ages too. Also, I was put on the depo provera shot and had my first one 2 weeks ago.

Are you on depo provera or have you ever been on depo provera?

So, I feel everyone's pain as well. I know that Depo is the reason. They kept telling me that it takes 18 months to leave your system...I don't know what to believe anymore..We'll see what happens. I wouldn't be surprised if I start seeing those lawyer's commercials that say to call if you have ever taken certain meds....I bet in time they will have one for Depo...It's bad stuff! Good luck to everyone suffering with the complications and be forwarned if you are thinking of taking it.
