Hi I started back on the depo in December and the first week I had a migraine for 3 days (I am a migraine sufferer) this settled down quickly and I now only get the same amount as I always did but I do have a continuous pain over my bladder like a stitch like pain I mentioned this to my GP but she couldn't tell me why (I did have endo removed from my bladder last August) apart from this I have not had any other obvious side effects apart from the erratic bleeding with the first injection. Do you have endo on the right side of your pelvis or adhesions maybe? It's just a thought as I think my pain could be the hormones aggravating the endo on my bladder. See how you go but bear in my mind once the depo is in you, you will have to wait the 12+ weeks for any side effects to wear off. All the best to you.

Yeah everything seems to be in the right side, I saw the cons on 10ty March and he's given me a month on the depo to see how it goes if my bleeding is erratic in back on zoladex with HRT then getting listed for more surgery (hysterectomy) x
