birth control
"I started the Depo shot a year ago. Originally, I bled for 3 weeks with a few days off. After my second shot, I bled for 2 weeks and had 2 weeks off of my period. Then once my period started up again, it never stopped. So I've been bleeding since the end of January which makes almost 9 months that I've been bleeding/spotting with not even one day off. There were times when it stopped for a few hours but I guess if it came right back, it never actually stopped. I didn't gain weight, I've struggled with mild depression, anxiety, poor appetite, fatigue, lots of nausea and abdominal pain. My last shot was at the end of March. I'm getting the pill tomorrow to help regulate my hormones. I'm afraid of all birth control now, but I hope this works."
