birth control
"I've been on the shot for about seven months now, and haven't experienced any of negative side effects that I'd heard horror stories about (no weight gain, no unusual acne, no unusual hair growth, no significant appetite changes, etc). I did have pretty irregular spotting and bleeding for the first three months, but now I can't remember the last time I saw any blood, which suits me just fine! Overall the drug has treated me pretty well - I like not having to deal with my period each month - the only downside for me is having to schedule regular Dr.'s appointments to get the injection."
