"i opted the depo shot when i was 16. i was horrible at remembering to take medicine on time so i chose the shot. this is my experience. i can only speak for me.
i got the shot in may 2006. stayed on track of the shot due to the reminder i had a dr&#039;s appointment on such and such day. i had light, 3 day periods. never a day longer, never a day shorter. i had no weight gain. i had no cramps. i had no breakouts. i did not experience any dizziness, shortness of breath, or headaches. i didn&#039;t lose my appetite. i had no troubles.
then, like a genius, when i turned 18 i chose to get off the shot which was due in february. by april i had a positive pregnancy test.
wasn&#039;t hard for my body to change from even after almost 2 years."
