birth control
"Hi, everyone!  Well, I have been on the Depo on and off since I was 18 years old.  Frankly, it has been the best birth control method for me.  My period stopped completely and I gained no weight because of it. I've been off of it now for exactly a year. I began to spot within the month I was off of it and only skipped the January cycle; by June my cycle ranged from 25 to 30 days, and by now to an avg of 25, which is normal.  This month, however, I have experienced breast enlargement and soreness, along with weight gain from 6 days before my period started.  My doctor says that might be a sign that I may start ovulating on my own. The only negatives are the bone density loss and the length of time it takes to become fertile again."
