I have been on Depo for almost over& three years& now and I just don't even get my period, So I guess each woman is different but they say after the first shot you might have it light for three months and then nothing after that pretty much until you go off the shot, I went off the shot for about 8 months and never had a period in 8 months I was concerned and asked my doctor and they said it was completely normal and that once I did get it I could go back on the shot or on pills which ever I chose, I found no side affects for myself with the shot except for no period, but I have always been regular and never had cramps or heavy bleeding even when I was younger. Some people complain of depression ect when on the Depo shot but then some also do when on the pill, it's all a matter of the best choice for our own bodies I found the Shot to be most effecitive for me because I have a hard time remembering to take a pill at the same time every day, I don't mind not having a period so it's a non issue for me as it is for some woman but it was a little weird that my body took 8 months to expell the hormones from the shot, and when I did have my period it was heavyer longer and I had slight cramping for the first one and the one after that was normal. So this just gose to prove how different each womans body is, I know others who are on the same treatment and get a light period faithfully every month or there normal period and other's that have been on it and then go off and get there's in the first month of being of fit. The only thing I am cautious about is the fact that when I go off it again if I want to get pregant I may have to wait an indefinate amount of time... But I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles
