"i have used many types of birth controls from the patch, the pill, the ring, and now the shot. i would always forget to take my pill so i decided to make the switch to depo. although i love that i never have to think about taking my birth control, the depo shot makes me spot, a lot. to me it&#039;s not worth it. i  always spotting and have ruined countless underwear. i knew there would be some spotting but the spotting has not stopped. i would rather take the pill and have a regular period than have to spot every day."
