"i started a pill at first, in 2011. istarted having terrible periods, so bad i would miss class, so in 2012 i started the depo shot. periods and symptoms went away just like that! i did gain some weight, especially in my breasts, but at the same time i started eating a lot of fast food and going out to eat when i started working in fast food. my doctor switched me to this pill for a month that started my period so i switched right back to depo that next month! rating 8/10 because i&#039;m scared of getting news i won&#039;t be able to conceive because of other articles i&#039;ve read about the shot."
