"i have just recently got my second shot a few weeks ago, and since i received my first shot i haven&#039;t had any periods or abnormal bleeding or spotting. i don&#039;t even get any side effects. it has helped so much since, i used to get severe painful cramps and lay in bed for the week when i had my periods. it makes me have a lot less things to worry about like chance of pregnancy, periods, cramps, and a lot more things my body was emotionally drained from."
