birth control
"I was on Depo-Provera shot for 5 years straight. I came off it for a couple of months but I went back on it again. It was of great convenience because I did not have to worry about taking an oral contraception and to just remember to get the jab every 3 months. That's what lured me into getting it in the first place. I will admit that it was an excellent form of contraception as it stops you ovulating. My periods stopped completely. I didn't get spotting or anything maybe I was a lucky few but there was some side effects that my body and mind did not like. I gained a lot of weight, three stones and I had really bad mood swings when I was on it and they just were not getting any better so I decided to come off it December 2009."
