"i was on the depo shot for five years and had no issues. i didn&#039;t have a period, zero spotting never gained any weight from it and i liked not having to worry about taking a pill. my doctor and i decided to try something new so i tried the nuvaring i ended up getting pregnant about a month and a half later. i had my son six years ago. my boyfriend decided to get fixed after i found out i was pregnant. we just split up so i went in today and get my first shot. i feel a little more tired than usually and i&#039;m a little crampy but that&#039;s to be expected. i would recommend the shot. i don&#039;t want to have any more kids and this is a good one for me. i will not be trying anything else."
