"was having some trouble with the pill i was on for a year and switched to the shot.  the first three months were great! no weight gain/acne and i felt great. after about two and a half months, i began to start bleeding and having severe cramps, so much so i could not stand up straight. at the height of my cramps, i discovered my body had shed my entire uterine lining at one time and it was the most frightening and gross thing i had seen. after the three months had finished, i had my period for seven weeks and am finally back on my regular schedule! never again will i use this shot!"
