"i received my 1st shot a week after giving birth in 2015, i bled the entire 1st month then it stopped completely. so overall i loved being on the shot, i am very petite so i enjoyed the little weight gain, but it did decrease my sex drive. i also began having slight headaches maybe once a month, which caused me to finally switch birth controls after 2 years. but i did love the shot overall an i recommend it, especially if you&#039;re practicing abstinence!"
