This is going to be very long winded, snd I am probably going to sound crazy (and maybe I have been reading too much internet recently)...

So I have only had one injection of the depo contraception, but the intense amount of hormones affected my mental health too badly to have a second. However in the past few days (was due 14th Feb for the top up) I have started to get stomach pains, intense nausea, headaches (which I NEVER get as I am always hydrated and no matter how much I drink they don’t go) dizziness, boob pains (no change to the physical breast tossue etc) and intense fatigue. I have had unprotected sex, but well within the 14-17 weeks the sister told me I would be protected.

I was wondering if it was possible I am going through some form of withdrawal from the amount of hormones even though it was only one shot, and whether anyone else has experienced this?
