I was happy with the depo shot but after using it for 2 yrs I started to get a side affect my lower back started hurting now I'm scared because I don't know how damaged is my lower back because of the shot. Look into back pain caused by the depo u will see. I can't sit good or sleep face down anymore.

Went on the birth control shot after my 6 week post partum exam after my second and last child's birth. I started bleeding about a week and a half later and here 3.5 weeks later I am still bleeding.

I do not recommend using this medication. I just needed a short-term solution until my husband gets his vasectomy.
