    Off Depo & Concerned.
    I have been off depo for 3 months so far. My first month I had my normal 7 day spotting spree. & then the 2nd month I got it again. Normally. Well Today is March 24,2006 & I have yet to get any period. I haven't had sex, at all since I have gotten off depo. I have been single too. So Yea, Should I be worried? & is this a normal thing to happen. :confused:

    Another thing that has been occurring, is fluxuating weight gain and loss. One minute I will be one number the next I weigh more, & I also get these moods where I feel useless and not good enough, are these still associated with depo? :confused:

    The reason Im asking this is because Im worried about it magically appearing and ruining my time in Florida. Periods tend to make me feel like crap and not wanting to do or deal with anyone or anything.

    Please help me!!

    All the things you are describing are the wonderful side effects of the shot this will probably go on for months it can take up to 12-16 months to leave your system depending on how long you were receiving the shot for.
    If you are that concerned about your period then go see the dr and ask for the pill that way you will know when its coming.

    I was on depo for 9 months... because I had a boyfriend at the time. & now that Im single, I don't see a point because I don't have sex no more. & I also don't have the money to pay for it. I went to a clinic for it. Thank you so much for the advice. I appreciate it. I was just worried. Im only 19 so. I guess that normal for me. & the also only reason I was getting worried is because Im going on Vacation for a week On April 4th & I don't want an unexpected explosion. LOl
