"i would recommend this to everyone,
my experience on the shot has been great. this is about my 9th month now and i never had to deal with any crazy side effects like weight gain, acne, etc. 
however, in the first 3 months i did have mood swings but they were never worse than any normal mood swings (for example period mood swings.) and i never got my period, bleeding, or any sporting till 6 months after i started the shot! and even then.. my period was very light and quick. be sure to drink a lot of milk or eat dairy to replace the calcium that gets stripped from your body by taking the shot. if you don&#039;t replace your calcium, your bones can become weak or you can experience more side effects. just take care of yourself :)"
