birth control
"Taking the shot is convenient because you only have to get it every few months. It definitely does its job in preventing pregnancy! I am on my third month of being on the shot and I am choosing to switch to the pill. I never broke out in the past, but since starting the shot, my acne has been awful. I got my period twice a month and broke out twice a month. Periods were light with light cramps (compared to when I wasn't on birth control and had severe cramps). The worst part is that before getting my period, my WHOLE body would ache. I get headaches every day since getting the shot. My appetite before getting my period had significantly increased and I have been gaining weight. No thanks depo!"
