Birth Control
"I am 25 years old and have been on Depo-Provera for around 3 years. I have very little side effects &amp; absolutely love not worrying about pregnancy or periods! I can&#039;t imagine going back to having a monthly period, I am very content with my light spotting every three months a week before my next shot. I never plan on having children so I have no problem staying on this long-term. I&#039;ve been losing/gaining 20 pounds on and off many years before I started Depo, and considering I do not exercise I cannot blame any weight gain on this. My only concern is bone density loss. I eat calcium rich vegetables daily &amp; take vitamin D, but may start calcium supplementation as well depending on my results from a bone density screening."
