"i got the shot may 5, right after a period. i only did one round of the bc. i had two weird kindof super-low flow and darkish periods over the next two months, that both gradually lightened until i had no period. i got my period back dec 2 of that year. i had a lot of hormonal issues however that were sorting themselves out while i didn&#039;t have my period. mostly it was a lot of emotional extremes. little things bothered me like they were big things. 



overall, i&#039;d take this birth control again. i&#039;m certainly not pregnant, and i certainly got my money&#039;s worth out of the shot. it cost me a $30 co-pay with blue cross in nc, plus the price of the two appointments i needed. one consultation, and one 3-minute appointment of getting the shot."
