"i got on the depo-provera shot at age 15 and just got off of it at age 20, and i am now on seasonique (the pill). i didn&#039;t realize how awesome depo was until i switched. having no periods for 5 years was definitely great, i didn&#039;t gain any weight from the depo even though it made me eat like i was pregnant with triplets for 5 years. there was minimal spotting which i would take over periods any day. i got moody when i started getting close to my next shot due date but that&#039;s about it. i would definitely recommend this birth control!"
