Birth Control
"I am 18 and have been on Depo since I was 15 due to severe menstrual bleeding. When I first got the shot I noticed my bleeding kept lightening up until my second shot and it stopped all together. I eat like a pig, but that&#039;s not really a big deal for me. During the first 4-5 months I lost 40 pounds, and slightly over a year later I&#039;ve gained 20 back. I know a lot of girls fidget and carry on over the weight issue, but if you exercise daily and eat appropriately, it won&#039;t turn into a big deal. I definitely recommend this to my friends who either have bleeding issues or just don&#039;t want to get pregnant. Works PERFECTLY in both cases; at least for me!"
