Hiya, I was just wondering if anyone has had the depo provera injection and if it's had bad side effects at all? I had it about two months ago and I'm pretty sure it's making me feel worse! So I'm unsure whether to get the next injection or not?!

Third time's the charm :)

I was the same - the first two injections produced horrific symptoms, and the third got rid of them all. I'd stick with it.

I have never had the shot but am taking progestin pills, which is the same hormone but in pill form. My OB/GYN said one advantage is that if I had bad side effects I could stop taking the pills at any time, while the injection lasts for months. So maybe this could be an option for you if you don't want to commit to another injection?
