"so i&#039;ve been using the shot for only two months now, nearing the third. it&#039;s pretty effective. i haven&#039;t gained much weight. i have spotting which my doctor told me that was normal. my only concern are the mood swings and low libido. i have a boyfriend and i feel like the side effects are making me question my attraction to him???? our relationship is good. i just don&#039;t understand why i feel how i do. i would be fine except for the constant depression i&#039;m having. thinking about switching to another method, or sticking to just condoms but we all know how that goes."
