Birth Control
"I&#039;ve tried 5 different birth control pills before trying the Depo-Provera. There&#039;s no estrogen, so I don&#039;t get moody or sensitive. I also didn&#039;t gain any weight at all and was able to go back down to my normal body weight that I was prior to taking the pill version of birth control. The only side effect I feel is a little bit of soreness in my hip after the injection, but that&#039;s to be expected. The one complaint I have is that you&#039;re only able to stay on it for 3 years. I&#039;d stay on it until I wanted to be pregnant if they would let me."
