Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I&#039;ve been on the depo for over two years now. For the first 9 months I experienced light bleeding/spotting but the doctors told me to continue as it won&#039;t be long until my body got used to it. After my third shot the bleeding just stopped completely. It is best to carry on with it because I haven&#039;t had a period in over a year, just occasional spotting every couple of months if that. Weight gain was a problem for me but I&#039;m not overweight and I can lose if I stick to a healthy diet. Other than that I&#039;ve had no problem with the depo, it&#039;s really not as bad as people are making it out to be. Once you get past the months of bleeding you don&#039;t have to worry about a thing. :)"
