"so i have been on the depo shot since february and i have had a few problems but overall, i love the shot . around may , when i was supposed to get my second shot , i started my period and was bleeding for about 3 weeks. it wasn&#039;t a heavy flow. after that, i haven&#039;t had a period since . overall i haven&#039;t experienced all of the side effects that everyone else experienced. no weight gain , no depression, no cramps . i like the depo shot and i recommend anyone who is forgetful at taking the pill to get the shot . it is worth it in the end. you just have to take a chance ."
