Is it normal to experience headaches, cloudy urine and dizziness after getting depo shot?
Patient: I had my second depo shot in march, 1 day after the first day I could. Recently I've had headaches, cloudy urine, dizzy spells, strange cravings and an assortment of other seemingly pregnancy related symptoms. Is a pregnancy possible while using the depo shot, or are these all side effects? Doctor: Hello,The efficacy of the depo shot dwindles as it approaches the third month or the 90th day. This is enhanced when there is weight gain during usage of hormone medication. Also stress, concomitant use of certain antibiotic and other medications can reduce the contraceptive effect of hormones and can lead to failures and hormone disturbances leading to several symptoms. Your present symptoms can also be due to the hormone effect. To clarify, you can get a blood test for pregnancy. Hope this helps.
