hey, sounds like you might have the answer! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif when you see your nurse or doctor, also ask about natural progesterone cream, if that could help. i started using it after menopause. the cream i just love is called Natpro and can be found at progesteronetherapy.com, it is all organic. 🙂

I was on depo for a few years. I will say it did help my extreme hormone mood swings (I have PMDD, I'm fine almost all the time until right before my period and then all hell breaks loose), but after a while it made me feel flat. I wasn't ever sad or depressed, but I wasn't ever happy either. Sorta like an emotional Zombie. My reaction isn't common, so you most likely will be fine. It was very convienent not having to take a pill every morning and I loved only having my period at maximum 4 times a year. I'll cross my fingers that it works for you!
Vit D does help a lot too. I grew up in the desert and now am in Western WA. My Vit D levels are almost none now unless I take supplements and it is a big difference when I do and don't. I also got some daylight blubs (like the kind you use for plants) and that seemed to help. Not sure if that part is just phycological or what, but I like em.

I have been on depo for 3-4 years now and prior to that was on tri-cyclin low for 2 years. It helped a lot with really bad cramps (yes, I completely understand where you are coming from there) and balanced out my hormones a bit. The first week of my injection is what myself and those I live with refer to as typhod mary week. I'm a bit all over the place emotionally but after that I am pretty normal. For me, it has increesed my libido. Hope all goes well talking to the nurse.
