birth control
"I am 19 years old. I have been on the Depo since I was 16. I got on it after my 6 week check up. When I first started on the Depo shot I was a very mean person. I have NEVER in my life been like that. I am a very nice laid back person. I gained 40lbs withing the first 3 months. I am not a big eater and I do eat healthy for the most part. I also had pregnancy like symptoms, headaches and bloating. After a year of being on the Depo my mood had changed and I became back to myself and my body got used to it. I really really LOVE the Depo shot but I am thinking of switching to another method. I love how I haven't had a period in 3 years and it is 100% effective but I cannot deal with it making my weight go up and down. Overall minus few things I love it."
