"i&#039;ve been on the depo-provera shot for over 8 months now, i received my first shortly after i had my son, i was breastfeeding so this was my only option. the only pros for me are its convenient, i&#039;m a nurse and i just pick it up from pharmacy and inject myself or a friend from work does it for me then i&#039;m good for three months, no remembering to take a pill. cons have been constant bleeding on and off, longest being over 3 weeks straight. i have gained back all the weight that i did lose from having my baby and am now stuck at the same weight i was at 9 months pregnant, it&#039;s awful and embarrassing, i am constantly hungry like constantly and i crave sweets and chocolate more than anything. i also am sweating like crazy all the time."
