"going into getting my first depo shot i was excited. my periods were excruciating painful and i needed something to make my periods more bearable. my first shot my period stopped and it was amazing. unfortunately, i started eating more and i became very moody. my hormones were extremely out of wack. by the time my third shot was due everyone i knew was convincing me to stop the shot because of how negatively i have been effected. i went through with the third shot hoping it would get better in time but i only got worse and didn&#039;t want to wait for it to get better. i stopped the depo shot and didn&#039;t get the fourth injection. by the time i stopped i had gone from 115 lbs to 170 lbs in that short time. it ruined my body."
