"i definitely regret take the depo shot as bc. i didn&#039;t spot the first time i got the shot but a month or two after i started spotting and it&#039;s been constant for about 6 months now. the main issue was that i gained weight on it. i have always been the same weight no matter how much i eat and don&#039;t exercise. this is the first time my weight has increased this fast and its quite depressing. i was supposed to go in for my fourth shot but decided against it and am going to be trying to patch now. hopefully it doesn&#039;t have the same side affects. not having a period with cramps every month was great but i&#039;d rather deal with that than constant spotting."
