Depo injection

[Husbandofendo1987]

my wife gets a depo injection for the pain every 10 weeks but really knocks her for six.Nausea, headache, pain, fatigue. The lot

Lasts a couple of days after jab and generally after the endo pain is better until a week before next jab

Basically feels awful for two weeks in ten

Is this normal or should we push for a new treatment?

It does wipe you out but it also depends on age, why you're on the injection in the first place, and if you are taking add back HRT which makes it a completely different experience. Also, it's so lovely of you to come on here for your wife ; what a caring husband you are! ❤️

Hi, I’m not sure how long your wife has been having the injection, I think it can take a while for the body to adjust if it has not been that long. Personally depo has been a life saver for me but others have not found it so helpful and obviously everyone is different. If she’s been taking it for a while and struggling then it might be helpful for her to discuss with an endo expert.
