I received a depo shot today and I don't know if she hit the wrong spot. I am having some bad pain and burning. I have been on the shot for years and this has never happened.

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  The most common side effects of Depo-Provera include:

  • Irregular menstruation

  • Absence of menstruation (amennorhea)

  • Weight gain

  • Headaches

  • Anxiety

  • Stomach pain or cramps

  • Dizziness

  • Weakness or fatigue

  • Loss of libido

It's important to call your doctor immediately and let her know of your symptoms.

Best,

Daisy
