PCOS And the Depo Shot?

Hi everyone.. I recently had the DS surgery in march and i decided to go on the needle so i wouldn't get pregnant. I havent had a period in almost a year but now that i've been on the shot.. I have NOT stopped bleeding. I have SERIOUS cramping where i feel like i can't do anything and i'm in tears every day with the heating pad onmy tummy.. Should i go back on the pill after this round of the shot is over with in June? Is there anything i can do to to make the bleeding stop? Seriously 2 months of it And i'm sick of it!!!! lol!

Sorry for the rant!

I don't have PCOS but I did use Depo a few years ago...well okay maybe it was like 12 years ago. LOL  Anyway, the first round was the worst!  Constant breakthrough bleeding, cramps, sore breasts, it was really miserable.  All these symptoms pretty much vanished after the second shot.  I wouldn't give up just yet, because I think it takes most depo users a bit to get used to the hormones and if the symptoms settle down for you it's a great, effective and worry free method of birth control.  Good luck!

Thanks Holly.. this is my second go with it.. Maybe i'll try it one more time.. Thanks :)

I have had PCOS for the last 10 + years.... I did not have much break through bleeding with the Lupron (Depo) shot- however I did gain 70 pounds in 3 months because of it.  I would go back to the pill.  (This was prior to my WLS)

I have had pcos forever....diagnosed @ age 16. I was on depo for a year or so and put on massive weight. I stuck to the pill pretty much until hubby got snipped . As far a bleeding I was always given provera by my obgyn to bring on a period or make it stop. Good luck!!
