"it was terrible! the beginning was fine i was having sex and wasn&#039;t pregnant so i was fine then 3 weeks into using the depo i was bleeding everyday !! not even exaggerating it was so unpredictable i had maybe one day without bleeding a month and it wasn&#039;t a full day it was a half day! i was bleeding for 5 months and went to the doctors and they said i was anemic and gave me a hormone medicine to stop the bleeding i was still bleeding. maybe around the 6 or 7 month i stopped and just gained a massive amount of weight i was 170 and went all the way to 250 while i was playing sports and working out. i finally got off and they told me it could be in my system for up to a year while i&#039;m still trying to lose weight. i don&#039;t recommend"
