birth control
"I started the shot when I was 17 after a miscarriage, my period has always been irregular but once I started the shot I bled for a month straight. After that first month I stopped having periods all together. Before I got on the shot my weight was consistent always stayed around 120.. but after my weight started going up, by the time I was 18 I was going on 140. During my second semester In college I got off the shot because I didn't like the fact that I was gaining so much weight, before school started back I got back on the shot bc it was much easier than taking the pills, and my period was a mess I never knew when it was coming so I wanted to put a stop to that. Now I'm 19 and pushing 170 I have gotten off the shot and REFUSE to take it"
