Suggest Remedy For Sore Breasts And Weight Gain On Stopping Depo Shots
Hi, my name is Olivia. I just recently stopped taking the birth control shot depo (i was suppose to get a shot last week) and i am experiencing sore breasts, a darker vaginal area, and weight gain. It couldn t be pregnancy because I ve been taking depo for 9 months and after the second month of being on it I ve stopped having a period altogether and i haven t had one since ive been off it. When do i get my period back and what could be causing these symptoms?

PLEASE DO A URINE PREGNANCY TEST AND THEN WE CAN PROCEED FURTHER DEPENDING ON ITS RESULT.
WEIGHT GAIN HAPPENS WITH DEPO SHOT AND BREAST TENDERNESS CAN ALSO HAPPEN.
BUT PREGNANCY NEEDS TO BE RULED OUT FIRST
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR AGE AND BMI
PERIODS CAN TAKE SOME TIME TO RETURN BACK TO NORMAL, MAXIMUM TIME IT CAN TAKE IS 1 YR
