Birth Control
"While on the depo I had no issues other than severe weight gain. They tried to tell me that I was eating more and that&#039;s what caused it, but I was very strict about what I ate so I know without a doubt it wasn&#039;t that. Once I stopped the depo, about 2 months after I stopped the shots, I started cycling. My cycle was heavy and painful, and it hasn&#039;t stopped nearly 2.5 years later (I very rarely get a day or two where it isn&#039;t bleeding). I&#039;m still in the process of getting lab work done and finding a resolution. 



Depo seems to work wonderfully for some people, but it works terribly for others. I&#039;m not sure if there&#039;s a way to screen if it will work well with your body or not, but because of this I wouldn&#039;t recommend it."
