"i received my first dose of depo in feb 2016. for eleven months, i had nonstop bleeding. every. single. day. i continued to get the shot every 3 months with the hope it would eventually stop, since i had no other side effects. didn&#039;t affect my weight at all, no mood swings, no acne changes, no change in sex drive, etc. i went against my obgyn&#039;s advice to take estrogen pills to stop the bleeding, as i wanted to see if my body would adjust naturally and i had noticed that the bleeding was slowly subsiding month by month. sure enough, after my fourth dose of the shot (jan 2017), my period completely stopped. now, march 2017, i have had no spotting. if you can deal with a possible year long period, the end results are worth it."
