Depo-Provera injection and weight loss

I was not offered an alternative injection and was adbised against it as i already was dinosed with depression.its been very difficult trying to feel normal and have a great s** life. I am already a mother and would like to wait a while before or IF i do have any more children. This contraception is extemly strong, i noticed many changes to my body. From the frist day i took the injection. It is brilliant at stopping me from getting pregnnt again though.

After being pregnant with our first child, due to my BMI & hypertension at the end of my pregnancy I was not allowed the combined pill. So after the discussion with my GP the next best thing for myself that I was willing to try was the Depo (injection). Firstly I hadn't even had my period after giving birth which didn't help, I felt like a complete mad women (understand we just had a baby) no libido, very on edge/sensitive to were I would be snapping multiple times a day. I just didn't feel like myself & I had to fight my drs to come off the injection. Now I just monitor my periods though an app and when having sex we use a condom

Depo provera made a difference to my life as I had no periods at all. I was on depo for over 15 years, I had tried the pill but this made me feel nauseous and forgot to take it. Since stopping depo in December 2022 I have experienced what I think may be withdrawals- periods still haven’t returned but I feel pelvic pain is attributed to withdrawals alongside this happening during and after sex which results in severe pelvic cramps making me feel very nauseous, sweaty, hot and needing to move my bowels. Unsure as of yet whether this is all due to the depo or something else going on. When I hit puberty I feel I may have experienced endometriosis type symptoms with extremely heavy periods and severe cramps and didn’t ever get this assessed at my doctors and have not had a period since I was about 18 therefore my periods have yet to return and I am 37 now so time will tell. I have Ben to the GP and hospital for pelvic exam which ruled out any reproductive illnesses and no deformities found this can rule out those as a causative factor to my current pelvic symptoms. I will keep you all posted once and Gastrointestinal issues have been ruled out as another potential cause at present which is being assessed via samples and assessments at my GP at the moment. Otherwise it may be endometriosis or a gynae issue potentially. All in all though my pelvic issues started when I stopped the depo injection.
