"i started the shot august of 2014 and i&#039;m still currently on it. my dr. told me that for the first month i would bleed irregularly, which didn&#039;t happen. for maybe about a week i had very little bleeding to hardly any at all with my first shot. i had gained about 10 pounds since i&#039;ve been on it. it has helped cleared my skin. the shot as completely stopped my period. which is quite amazing. the only reason why i&#039;m not giving the shot a 10 is because of the weight gain. because of it, it made it hard to loose weight and keep it off. i don&#039;t know if the shot could have caused this but i did experience insomnia,excessive oily skin, and out of control heartburn."
