birth control
"I took my first Depo shot in February of this year and for the first month I didn't have any side effects, so I thought it was great, but then came the abnormal bleeding. I literally had spotting from March to June. It was so miserable, even after it wore off it was still happening. Finally just this month (yesterday) my period came back normally. Also, I had really bad acne the whole time it was in my system when normally I don't have acne at all and I don't just mean a couple of pimples...it was like deep acne which left me with scars on my face. Other than those two side effects Depo is pretty awesome as I didn't get pregnant and didn't have to remember to take a pill. I'm now on Ortho Tri-Cyclen and seeing how that works out."
