Birth Control
"I&#039;m 15 years old. I&#039;m a sophomore in high school. I started taking the Depo-Provera shot around my freshman year. It actually hasn&#039;t given me any bad side effects beside loss of hair, I haven&#039;t lost a lot a hair, and mood swings. My freshman year I weighed 155 and now I weigh 119. I&#039;m 5&#039;3 and haven&#039;t gained a pound from this shot yet. I hate shots but it&#039;s definitely worth taking for having no period. I haven&#039;t experienced depression or any of the other side effects except the ones listed above. But not everyone is the same. I would recommend talking to your doctor about it before jumping into taking it!"
