I'm scared now. Because I've been taking Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic.
Does depo not go with certain antibiotics, or all of them in general?

Worried!

No antibiotics and the depo are FINE together. Antibiotics mess up the pill! I had to come off depo cos my blood pressure got really high, so i went back to the pill and then i was actually taking amoxicillin for an ear infection and didn't use any other protection... hence pregnant. But the depo and antibiotics are FINE and it won't mess up!

Depo is a drug that tricks your body into thinking its pregnant kinda. It stops you from producing an egg each month. I dealt with the depo after I had to go on birth control because of severe ovarian cysts. Love Bunny is 100% right no birth control is 100% effective however it has been proven that depo is one of the least effective drugs lately. In my time on the depo shot after getting it every 12 weeks I had numerous bleeding incidents, my periods were all screwed up after i got off it for months, i gained tons of weight on it aswell. In my opinion its not an effective or nice way of BC. But for yourself i would not be worried as alot of the things you listed happened to me on it as well.
