"i was on the depo shot for two years but when i started moving  house a lot it was impossible for me to make my appointment every three months. so i switched to this. it was bruised when i first got it for about a week but it was one of those bruises that didn&#039;t hurt. i&#039;ve had maybe one or two periods since i&#039;ve had this put in my arm sometimes the last one went on for a couple weeks but it was on and off and very light. i will say i&#039;ve been maybe a little depressed since i&#039;ve had this but i also have depression so i don&#039;t know if it&#039;s from this or not .  i really haven&#039;t had any issues , no weight gain or anything since getting it. honestly i love it and highly recommend it ."
