Vasectomy has been a very effective contraceptive for me. It is good because it has allowed my hormones to follow a natural rhythm. Unfortunately I have experienced depression(and severe PMS) as I would like to have more children(but my partner does not). This has decreased my libido significantly and made me consider using hormonal contraception to level out my hormone levels.

As noted before, testicular pain/discomfort and testicles sensitive to pressure to the extent that rucked underpants could lead to quite severe pain.  Gradually diminished over years but not completely.  Testicles still more sensitive than should be.  Did lead to reduction in enjoyment of sex as experience could be painful on occasions.
Apparently quite a high side effect risk.
Effective contraception method but took a few weeks to get the all clear.

For women, this is the most natural contraceptive on the market.
For me and all the other men, its mostly psychological, but had no side effects.

Sept 1998. Had a vasectomy. Easy and quick. Done in the hospital operating room on a Friday morning. Went home And took it easy. Took it easy at work Monday no problems. By Wednesday started feeling pain in testicles. Called doctors office. Doctors gone on holiday. Anyway from this point the pain only gets worse and all the doctors have to say is that they have never seen anyone in such pain. Within the first six months I had met with a variety of doctors and tried a wide variety of drugs, therapies and nerve blocks. Nothing worked for more than a few hours (nerve blocks did!). I had the vasectomy reversed June 1999 at my own cost of $2000. It was about three months before i felt better from that. Sadly only my left testicle had resolved. The right side still had the same pain. I had a semen test done. First ever in my life. I had sperm count of 125 million / ml. Surgeon thought that was great but still pain persisted in my right testicle. Followup turned into another vas reversal but just for the right side. This one I didn’t have to pay for because it was for chronic pain. Sadly it didn’t help. 
Now it’s 2020! I have endured this for 22 years. I wish I had never done it. That’s my absolute last word.

Vasectomies are relatively safe for surgical procedures, but it is STILL SURGERY and as such has risks and side effects.
In particular be aware that many of the side effects aren't really talked about. In my case I thought I was well educated about the procedure (I am a nurse) but it wasn't until after the deed was done that I learned for about 10% of men (numbers vary from study to study) the pain from surgery never entirety goes away. Most of the time (including in my case) it's pretty mild and you can still function, but it's always there and I was not warned about that possibility.
As far as sexual side effects, there's a lot of misinformation out there so let me cover the basics:
-You still ejaculate, and the amount is pretty much unchanged. However, the consistency of your semen does change--often runnier post-op.
-You can still get someone pregnant for a few months after the procedure. Plan accordingly.
-Officially there shouldn't be any difference in orgasm or sex drive. I must disagree. Orgasm doesn't feel the same at all, but seems to be slowly recovering over time. At 1 month post-op sex was actually pretty unpleasant to the point I just wasn't interested at all. I am at 2 months now and it's . . . pleasant again but still not what it once was.
-The appearance of your genitals may change a little, particularly the way the testicles hang. Nothing major, but it can make you feel pretty self conscious.
The surgery itself isn't too bad-- kind of like a root canal but more embarrassing.
I'm still pretty recent post-op so I am hoping things improve, the side effects aren't unbearable but I do wish they hadn't downplayed them as much as they did.

I had a vasectomy at the age of 31 after fathering two children. I didn't want my wife to be taking drugs for the rest of her child-bearing years - and I also didn't want the risk of another mouth to feed. My doctor tried to dissuade me on the basis that I may want children in the future. However, we went ahead and it was very straightforward, not all that painful and 100% effective. Ps: You don't lose your mojo!

After going off this contraceptive method it took over a year for my periods and cycle to return. What I didn't expect and no doctor had ever warned about was the intense withdrawal symptoms. The lack of hormonal balance wreaked havoc over my body for the entire year. The symptoms would manifest differently each month and was difficult to diagnose at first. The mood swings were overwhelming focusing around sadness and anxiety. I started growing huge amounts of facial hair and constant spots along my jawline (a sign of hormone imbalance). Additionally the weight gain persisted stronger than before while my hormones balanced out again. I didn't experience many headache symptoms but intense dizzy spells were common.

This contraceptive method is a godsend in almost every way with only two side effects and the stopping of my periods completely. The two drawbacks are weight gain and total loss of sex drive. I would have to go to the gym five days a week just to stop weight gain from happening. Additionally when I say no sex drive over the two years of using it gradually built up to kissing even making me uncomfortable. Towards the end I couldn't even have sex with my boyfriend of several years. Ultimately I stopped using it for the sake of my weight gain and relationship. I must admit having no periods and no hassle was incredible though!

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.

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 feel scared for not seeing my period and the acne is really worrisome expecially when i never had acne before.

Within a few days the depo Jag make me feel premenstrual, then intensely hormonal and tender like when I was in my first trimester. I could feel my body fighting to try and have a period, but instead ended up spotting for 3-weeks. I was extremely extremely emotional and tender, and bloated. So much so, I took a pregnancy test just in case which was of course negative.

The only downside I would say is it took me around 7 months to get a period again after my last jag, so I did worry something was wrong, but everything did settle and normalise eventually and it can be normal to take up to a year for your period to come back.
I found I was more spotty and moody a few months after stopping but I think that was just my body getting back into its normal hormonal cycle.

I had tried both the pill and the implant for several years, both came with horrible side effects but I kept them going as I thought I didn't have any other options. When planning on getting my new implant put in, my sexual health nurse was great and suggested that if I had such a hard time with the impant, why not try the injection? And I never looked back! Was the best change I ever made, I didnt have a single period once I started it and very little to no other side effects the whole time. I stayed on the injection for around 4-5 years before wanting to get back to a normal cycle.

I should have read more about.ir before using it at all. It's a whole lot of disadvantage.  I just got married but I can't even have urge for sex or.get pregnant.  Plus I have sleepless nights

I’ve been on this contraception for around 13 ish years and have had no major issues with it. 
I have struggled recently with information about coming off and trying to loose weight on it.

I accepted the Depo Provera injection following the termination of an unwanted pregnancy when I was younger. It made me bleed continuously for six months, at which point I withdrew, took a combined pill, and the bleeding stopped. I did not like having to be injected and to remember when my next one was, and in cold weather for a couple of years after I could feel a strange sensation around the injection site on my bottom!
