Hi, @svazquez_13 - here is some information on the Depo-Provera shot from Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/depo-provera/about/pac-20392204. Though I see abdominal pains mentioned as a potential side effect, I do not see nausea.

Hoping that @sabrinaperez08 @meowrightmeow @lisa3183, who have all talked about Depo Provera, will weigh in on whether they may have experienced anxiousness, panic, chest tightening or shakiness with getting this shot. @hopeful33250 may also have some thoughts.

I know that for me, I tried one form of birth control, the copper IUD, that did not end up being a fit for me, as I experienced out of control bleeding. I had to change to a different birth control. Is another birth control form possible for you?

If you are still concerned, @svazquez_13, is there another doctor you might consult for a second opinion?

@lisalucier I have not yet gone to my primary care doctor as I am going to school and therefore cannot often go see him, however the doctor who gave me the shot mentioned that unfortunately once he injects the shot there really isn’t anything he can really do and I would have to wait until three months to for it to wear off. I really am concerned that the side effects will not decrease, as I remember from my previous shot I was the same, same symptoms and this time this shot has made me feel the symptoms way more. There also was a point in time where I just completely lost all my appetite I stopped eating for two weeks and my face was turning yellow. When running for tests at my primary doctor all he told me was that it might have been due to a UTI I had contacted. But now I am wondering if it was the UTI or the depo shot
