birth control
"I've been on the depo for about 7 years (I'm 25) . It's the only contraceptive that I could use, because I have a gene in my blood stream that makes me twice as likely to get blood clots then any other person without it. I had no issues what so ever being on it I never spotted, I never gained weight. I had an overall good experience being on it. Now, I've been off of it since May 2015. I started spotting in August - a sign that my body is going back to normal ish. My withdrawal symptoms are starting to suck. Over the last three days I've had nothing but severe cramping, that I can't function with. Today (being the third day) I'm finally experiencing a normal period. Which, the pain yeah it sucks, but its a sign my body's trying to go back to normal"
