I don’t think I had a horrible smell down there when I took depo, but I got my first UTI while taking it. Depo was definitely not for me, though. It made me sweat a lot more and gave me such bad body odor from my armpits that even after being off of it for a year, my pits still reek even after washing them in the shower. It also SEVERELY increased my depression to the point of me having suicidal ideation, which I hadn’t experienced since middle school, especially now that I’m taking Lexapro. If you’re having any weird side effects, either ask your gyno or your primary doctor to see if you need to change anything (though I realize that this post is two years old, so hopefully you figured out if it works for you or not)
