"i would never use this! going into my 4th year i started having pains in my pelvic area that lasted 30mins-6hrs. it would wake me up, at the time i had these intense pains i would bleed then it would just stop. went to ob and got a pelvic ultrasounds, i had tremendous blood clots in my uterus that wouldn&#039;t pass. the shot stopped working and stored my monthly flow on my uterus the dr said seemed like it stopped working for at least a year. had to get cervical dilation to see if it&#039;ll come out, it didn&#039;t so a couple days later i got a d&amp;c. it&#039;s been 3 weeks since and i&#039;m having heavy bleeding. which i think is only because my hormones are off! do not get on this shot!!! hopefully i can get something to regulate this!"
