Experiences off stopping depo injection

[Candice2123]

New to mumsnet , and I was wondering if anyone had any experience off stopping depo ? I Don’t think I have the typical symptoms off coming off this form off birth control . I have been on it for a year and stopped 3 weeks ago, my sex drive has gone through the roof since stopping and I for some reason my body is covered in blue veins which I didn’t have before I get light cramping and back ache but I still haven’t bled 🤨 has anyone eles felt like this since coming off depo?

Oh and I get leg cramps and restless legs off a night which I have never suffered from

Anyone?????

Hi, didn't want to read and run; not sure what the "typical" symptoms are but I remember feeling better and better as time went on, it took the best part of a year to get my periods back. I'd speak with a gp or nurse if you're worried.

I felt awful when I came off the depo. I had been on it for several years and had almost pregnancy type symptoms for months when I came off it including really bad leg cramps mostly at night. Probably not what you want to hear but it took a full year before I fully felt like myself again
