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.

Originally started taking as I had been taken off the patch due to doctors realising I’d had a migraine 10 years recently, and thought it would be more convenient than going into the doctors for depo. Since starting it I have noticed massive mood swings and probably cry about 3 times a day - my boyfriend also told me he had noticed I wasn’t my usual self. Breaking point was when I nearly failed a practical exam after a simulated patient told me about his dead fake wife and I started crying in the exam. Had very irregular periods and spotting - had light constant bleeding for nearly two months. Also seems to be unavailable everywhere currently - tried pharmacists and 2 online pharmacies but was told it wouldn’t be available until after my next injection was due and was offered depo at my local GP but was unable to attend the appointment due to covid - part of the reason I am stopping but mainly due the effects it had on my mood. When I had my first injection the nurse told me it may take up to 6 months for the spotting to stop but I’m not having another injection to find out

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 done my first injection June 2020 as my hospital wasnt giving out depos due to covid. 
My first time using it everything was fine didnt have anything negative to say about it. 
It was when i done my second injection i realised my weight was piling on and it wasnt like me at all. 
My 3rd injection, i had now gained over a stone and i got really down with depression and also anxiety really came onto me. I knew it must have been the injection but desided its easier than the pill as i always forgot to take it when i was on it before, so i done my 4th injection. It was after this one i started to lose my sex drive. 
I have recently done my 6th injection and i realise that its just not right for me and now realise i shouldnt be putting up with all the side effects just for convenience. Weight gain, depression, anxiety and zero sex drive later ive finally came to my sences!!

I have had 3 injections now. I have had issued with an Ectropion womb and this was one of the last contraception's I could try.  In the first 12 weeks my skin was great and I had no issues with it however I did notice a slight increase in weight which was unexplained and no sex drive. I took my second and within this time period I noticed a lot of weight gain around 8-11lbs more than I would be normally. It had been lockdown but I was going back into the office and started back at the gym so it really didn't make sense. I did bleed lightly on the week before I needed to take my next injection. I had promised myself I wouldn't take a 3rd injection but I started bleeding just before my holiday so took it (stupidly) and now I am on my third. I really regret taking it, I am so low in my moods and I have a really bad body perception. I am now 1.5 stone heavier than 'normal', no sex drive (which is effecting my relationship) and sometimes its painful to have sex when I do. My skin is really bad with cystic acne. I will be coming off contraception as a whole now, even though I really hate having periods. I would really think before having this as you do have to wait at least 12 weeks after taking it.
