"do not get depo-provera injection! i decided on this form of birth control to help my painful periods, and hopefully to make them go away completely. i liked how i wouldnt need to worry about taking a pill everyday.. but... about a week after i got my injection i started bleeding.. a lot. it was not just &quot;spotting&quot;, it was a full on period. i thought, okay maybe i just need to get used to this new birth control. it has now been 4 months, and i am still bleeding. i saw my doctor to tell her about this crazy bleeding, about 3 months in from getting the injection, and at three months, you are supposed to get your next injection. of course i did not get it again, but still continue to bleed. so please, do not get the depo shot! nightmare!"
