I posted on here back late December to ask if anyone had an relapse when using the depo as a form of contraception.

I just wanted to update incase it helps. I have been on the depo now since January and had 3 injections which not had an reactions too.

Hello betty2014

Good to hear from you. I'm pleased to hear that you have not had any reaction to the depo injections.

Best wishes.

Thanks for the info!

I am due to give birth so been thinking about contraception, went on the coil last time as little hormones but I bled so much for 8 weeks before nothing so thinking abut the implant this time (never had an issue on it prior to pp) - think I'll risk it given you've been ok.

Thanks again

Hi,

It's not the implant, it's just the injection every 12 weeks. Did still get periods at the beginning but not any more. I was worried at the start about hormones but it haven't effected me

Good luck with your birth, I hope all goes well xxx

Sorry I knew you meant the injection - imagine the hormone changes are similar to that and implant though x
