"i took the shot once and from the week i took it until the week it ended it was literally impossible to have sex, it hurt everywhere. inside and at the opening. we tried to have sex maybe 4 times, just for a few seconds until i couldn&#039;t take it anymore. husband went crazy! the gyno said that i didn&#039;t fit the profiles for anything like endometriosis or vulva-something, nothing. i was a medical mystery with no reason to be having so much pain. there weren&#039;t other symptoms or side effects for anything, the doctors were all just like &quot;i don&#039;t know -  good luck&quot;.
and i bled for 80 out of 90 days. profusely.
as far as protecting against pregnancy, i don&#039;t know, because i had sex a total of 48 seconds in 3 months."
