"i&#039;ve been on the depo for about 9 months now and am happy to say i will not be getting another shot. i received my first shot 2 days after giving birth. i have not had a period (besides the constant bleeding for 6 weeks after delivering) but do get get brown discharge instead which doesn&#039;t bother me. the only thing i hated was the weight gain. i gained about 3-5 lbs after every shot. and it&#039;s been very hard to get rid of. i also have no sex drive. but besides that i haven&#039;t expierenced any other side effects."
