"i got my first shot in june 2016 thinking it would be a better alternative from the problems i was having with the pill. i ended up bleeding for a whole 3 months which defeated the purpose of getting it for birth control because i couldn&#039;t have sex anyways because of it. i got a second shot in august and the bleeding stopped but i started getting headaches and feeling dizzy frequently. my next shot is scheduled for october but i refuse to get another after reading other women&#039;s reviews and horror stories. the side effects are insane and not worth the risk. i would never recommend the shot to anyone."
