"so much pain!!! i was on the depo for 2 years and gained a lot of weight. i decided to try something different. the pill i wouldn&#039;t remember to take and being sexually active and 18 i didn&#039;t want to risk it. i read reviews on people saying it only hurts a little and then you have just normal period cramps. i got on the shot so i could stop my cramps. mine are very severe. so if you have/had bad cramps don&#039;t get this. it hurt so much getting it inserted and i then got sick and had to stay an hour longer. pain like i have never felt before. can&#039;t walk without cramping up still. i got it 4 days ago."
