"so i have been on the depo shit for well over a decade and decided to opt for a different method due to the weight gain, headaches and bone density concerns.  i have to say i was so scared about the procedure since i had heard nightmare stories about how painful it was.  however, it wasn&#039;t that bad at all, like a slightly more intense pap smear but it was over quick.  i had almost no cramping or bleeding (probably due to just stopping depo) and it has been great so far.  i have already noticed a small amount of weight loss and haven&#039;t has a headache for a while.  like mentioned before everyone is different so i&#039;m grateful my experience has gone so well but i will post again if anything changes."
