Hi Kykamni,

Thank you for the additional information. It appears that some women do experience weight gain once they stop taking the Depo-Provera injections.

You may want to talk with your gynecologist about this and if there is a correlation.

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

As you know, unprotected intercourse leads to pregnancy.

Did you mean to say that you have not had a period in three months? Exactly what is happening with your hips, legs and bottom?

I am very concerned that you have had severe cramping lasting 8 hours.

Anonymous, call your gynecologist today. You need to be evaluated in person.

Regards,
Maryann
