"i had my daughter in february this year. i received the shot the day i was released from the hospital. the shot didn&#039;t hurt and didn&#039;t quell the after pregnancy bleeding. i believe that was inevitable. this shot hasn&#039;t made me gain weight at all. i&#039;m 119 lbs when i was 173 lbs when i was at my last check up before i had my child. the real problem with this is that i am a fricken mess. i cry at the drop of a hat. i have zero appetite and have to force myself to eat. but i have longer thicker hair and my body hair didn&#039;t change. i&#039;m blonde and it&#039;d be easy to tell. the serious down side is that i&#039;ve been on the shot for 4 months and have not stopped bleeding! good lord! it&#039;s been 4 months of ruined panties and  tampons."
