"i started the shot in june. the first month i spotted and when it was about the time i get my period it got a little heavier for two days and back to spotting for 2 more weeks. i&#039;ve had heavy periods since i was ten, i don&#039;t have fibroids just bleed really heavy. i recommend this shot if you have heavy periods. we don&#039;t use any other contraception and no pregnancies here. the only reason i give it a 8 is because it made my anxiety come back. this is a secret weapon and i think a lot of the negative reviews are just women who want to keep the depo shot secret to themselves. give it a shot but also some time for your body to adjust to it."
