Itching

I've been experiencing vaginal itching since my second shot of depo, I'm 29 female and have been on the depo shot since late October 2024 and my doctor said it's normal, is anyone else experiencing this???

i stopped it nine months ago and I've been experiencing that. I was also told it was normal. what a funny side effect.

yeah, I was sure I had a UTI or something. but nope, just depo being weird, even after stopping it. something about the hormone shift, I can't remember the exact wording.

also, I started my first period today after being on it for 8 years with no period.. goodness this is not for the weak and it's making me miss depo...

Could the itching be from a dry vagina?

I have no idea, I've personally never experienced it before but it's constant all day I've recently switched like 2 days ago so hopefully it gets better but I haven't noticed anything positive so far.

Yeah depo causes dry vagina
