birth control
"I've had the shot for a little over 4 years now and I love it. Only spotted for the first 2 or 3 months then every once in awhile after that. It sucked while it was going on but it was definitely worth it. I haven't had a real period since the day I started, no cramps or any symptoms of that at all. Did gain about 25lbs. Within the first year that was the worst part about it, then I stopped gaining weight but no matter what I can't get the weight off at all. Noticed really bad migraines about 2 years into it. Don't if it has anything to do with it. Doctors don't have any idea why I get them but maybe that's why. Other than that I love it don't have to worry about it except once every 3 months."
