Trish,
Had one Depo Provera shot. I had no bleeding at all. That was the only
nice thing about the shot for me! I had horrible vaginal dryness and
gained 20 pounds in one month. I never did lose the 20 pounds. I
personally would never take another Depo Provera shot. Was very
unpleasant for me. I wish you luck!
