Hi All
Looking for some advice/opinions
I've been on the depo for about a year now. All had been fine until recently. I've gained 11lb (though I admit my diet hasn't been great) but I have started to lose any interest in sex, feel quite negative about things and generally a bit miserable.
I'm not suggesting this is all to do with depo but I think it plays a part. I was off contraceptives for 6 years and now I'm back on a hormonal contraceptive I just feel miserable and can't think very positively
DH was booked in for the snip but chickened out and I'm not 100% sure we're done with children (he says he is)
I guess I'm just wondering if others had similar side effects and perhaps other sugestions for contraception (I always forgot my pill so chose depo).
I've told DH I'm not happy on it so won't get another shot, I've just had one recently. He agreed but also thinks it's not down to the shot and I'm just a bit down. He is supportive but thinks using the depo as factor is a bit of a excuse.
Thanks
