Hi Sheri,
I have been on depo for 6 months now, April will be my 7th month. With contineous injections (every 2 months) I have been bleeding ever since. My gyno suggested getting the shot every 2 months instead of 3 to stop the bleeding, but it hasn't stopped yet. Normally bleeding is a side effect for up to 6 months to even up to a year!!! It is exhausting and tiring I must say. Not to mention nausea, abdominal cramping and headaches as major side effects for me. As for the "endo pain" itself, there is still some days when it's back to the days without treatment and I am in just as much pain. Then again, depo is different for each woman, I've heard great stuff about it too.
I hope this helps.
Feel free to privately email me as well
