Medroxyprogesterone
abnormal uterine bleeding
"I got one dose of the Depo shot May 2015. Two months after getting the shot I had spotting here & there. It's November 2015 now & for the past 4 months I've had spotting almost everyday, painful sex, no sex drive, fatigue, always hungry & I've gained weight like crazy. I get irritated very easily, & get mood swings. Lately I've been bleeding heavily it's annoying! I have an appointment in 2 months to see what's going on & I was told the depo shot isn't suppose to stop your periods until 2nd or 3rd shot. The only reason I got the depo was because my period was horrible, it was heavy the whole time & the cramps were unbearable. I most definitely DON'T recommend the Depo shot!"
