Can you get PMS without a period?

[cooney]

So right after I had Cora I have been getting the Depo shot. A lot of people have told me that when you get the shot you stop having a period and I haven't had one since Cora was born. I also wonder though if the pregnancy weight contributed to me not getting a period because although I always had a regular period before having Cora, afterward I was up to 270lbs (230 before falling pregnant) 243lbs now.

This week however I have craved a lot of sweets. I had 3 servings of weight watcher ice cream one day. Also, I have been happy but at the same time I always feel on the verge of crying. I don't know if that makes sense. I'm happy but I want to cry at everything. Before I had Cora I never got weepy during my period. Just slightly irritable. So I have some questions...

Do I weigh enough for my period to stop?
Does everyone not get a period on the Depo shot?
Can you still get PMS if you don't actually get a period?
Can the type of PMS you get change after having a baby?

Thanks ladies.

I don't think weight matters hun as the hormones you have naturally in your body vary person to person and everyone will have a different reaction basically to any form of hormonal birth control

Does everyone not get a period on the Depo shot?
No, my friend got her period every month right on time with her Depo shot

Can you still get PMS if you don't actually get a period?
Well, it wouldn't technically be PMS but symptoms like what you have when you get PMS are common on the Depo shot.

Can the type of PMS you get change after having a baby?
Yeah, I found mine is a lot worse since having Elyse, not sure if it's my hormones that have changed or if I'm just even more grouchy in general and extra grouchy when/if I've had PMS
