I have noticed a change into my body since after using the depo-injection. For example still waiting on my period does scare me a little bit and how dry she has got. But I’m glad I stopped it as I’m trying to help my body figure itself out naturally 

Ok so the contraception was ok for me. I gained a healthy weight (which for me is something that I’ve been trying to do for the longest time). I didn’t have to worry about buying pads every month, neither had to worry about getting pregnant. However the side effects weren’t worth it,the migraines still happened,the back aches were still happening and on occasion she would be dry. I am no longer on it now as I didn’t want to be on it for any longer than year just because it can effect your fertility,I’m still waiting on a period (haven’t had a period in 2 years) and boobs have become very tender since I’ve stopped. The risks of the injection causing brittle bones was a major factor as to why I stopped getting it too.

I was choosing not to pay attention to the side effects of the shot, what a mistake. While sex was nice without having to care about a condom, my sex drive was much lower. There is no point in birth control when you don't want to have sex. I had constant bleeding during the whole period I was on the shot and I gained 10 kilos. I hate it because I had a very stable weight my whole life and now my body changed completely and has stretch marks. 2,5 months after I stopped getting injections my periods are not there at all (which is not too bad for me) and the extra weight doesn't go away at all. While the injection is very simple in terms of use, side effects are not worth it. I regret getting it.

I was on yasmin combined pill for about three months right after depo so hard to say about what the post-depo experience was in regards to my periods. However I proceeded to suffer from chronic cystitis for two years. Lots of investigations yielded no cause. I am certain is was hormonal sensitivity and it eventally went by itself. Possibly the yasmin was the cause, but more likely the residual effects of depo. It was horrible. I've never used hormonal contraception since.

I had two injections of depo. I had spotting daily for the entire time I was on it. I gained weight, was very depressed, and lost libido. It was my worst experience.

I am now much less dry and able to have sex more regularly as it is far less effort because it is not so dry and painful. My hormones are back (more emotional) but manageable. I feel worried about using condoms only but feel that is the only alternative as otherwise it’s painful sex for life

I was on this most of my adult life as I was worried about the inconsistency of the pill as different GPS advised different things. However I’ve realised since stopping that it had made me very dry (sex has been painful for years) and low libido. So I’ve moved to condoms.

Best contraception I have ever been on, I've struggled to find one that agreed with me as much as this, but it can only be used for up to 3 years as it has increased risk of osteoporosis and breast cancer after that. I lost weight, felt very stable and my mood wasn't impacted. Yes, there were 'fuzzy' days where you felt moody and knew yourself you were being a bit overly sensitive to things, but that came and went like PMS. No periods for 3 years and my sex drive and skin was great.

It took the better part of a year for some of the side effects to gradually improve. The headaches and nausea persisted the longest with the hot flashes being nearly as bad. 

Gyno recommended this for my unbearable period pain last year. I feel stupid for not researching it first. I can truly say it was the most horrific experience I've ever had. I only had the one injection but it has taken the better part of a year to be getting very slowly back to normal from the experience. 
I had headaches every day. Not severe but not mild either. I had extreme nausea and on several occasions was not even able to drink a sip of water for 1-3 days at a time. Though initially it seemed my periods had stopped it suddenly started again and continued non stop for over 100 days. In that time I became very anemic and dizzy all the time. I ended up passing out in public which was extremely embarassing.
I had absolutely no energy whatsoever. I really struggled to so much as get out of bed. Going up and down the stairs felt like climbing a mountain.
I had unbearable hot flashes and would go hot then cold then hot again.
I struggled to think or concentrate a lot of the time.
I had weird rib pain that became unbearable at points.
I started to have hair fall out to an excessive and abnormal degree (thankfully this stopped once I came off of depo)
Nearing the end of the 3 months I ended up with 2 blood clots (just under 2 weeks apart and in different locations).
After the 3 months I assumed things would start going back to normal. Some did but the headaches, nausea and hot flashes got even worse. It took another 3 months or so for things to gradually start to get back to normal. The headaches and nausea have been the slowest to improve.
Being on depo was truly the most horrific type of torture I could imagine. I wouldn't touch it again for anything. It's made me afraid to try anything else.

I noticed once finishing the injection my moods have improved and I’ve found it easier to lose weight.

I was on the injection for just over 3 years. I had a really good experience for the first year other than I noticed that I had a reduced sex drive. After 2-3 years I ended up with painful and lumpy breasts and was referred to the breast clinic where thankfully everything was fine but they advised I stopped having the injection.

Once I stopped using this my periods came back pretty quickly, however I did see a change in my mood and weight.

I loved this contraception was on 5 years and never had an issue.

Period still hasn’t come back properly! After 4 months started to bleed again and very painful

Was very happy with it especially not having to think about it however then I gained 10kg within 5 months which was a shock because I had never had weight gain. Increased hunger and started to get problems with my breasts with weird purple patterns and pain with lumps. Except that I wish It would have worked for me because it was so practical And helped with my skin

Although I can’t say for definite it is down to the injection..I have never experienced low moods/anxiety until I started the injection.  The headaches when I first get my injection are horrible. I have gained almost 2 stone (again can’t prove that is from the injection) and my mood swings are next level. I get bad breakouts around my chin and mouth and when I had a break from the injection I got withdrawal symptoms for around 2 weeks which included not being able to sit still, shaking, couldn’t concentrate, headaches, confusion. 

The positive is that you don’t have to worry for 12 weeks and I didn’t have periods at all..not worth it for the negative things tho:(
