Birth Control
"I got the shot Jan 2014. I bled every day for the first three shots - 9 months. I wasn&#039;t allowed to get off of it because my mom was in charge. After the third shot I haven&#039;t had a period or spotting since. I have gained a lot of weight, around 50 pounds to this day. I really believe it&#039;s because of the shot because my eating habits haven&#039;t changed and I work out more now than I did before. The shot doesn&#039;t hurt but it feels uncomfortable for about a day or two. I was considering switching to Nexplanon (the implant in your arm) but after reading those reviews I think I&#039;ve decided to stay with the shot. I haven&#039;t gotten pregnant and I haven&#039;t had my period since the third shot. If I don&#039;t get the weight off soon I will switch."
