Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"New year&#039;s eve, I went and got my first birth control shot. I&#039;ve been on the pill but I&#039;m inconsistent and it didn&#039;t do much for me. No side effects, except for one.

No period.

This is a possible side effect, but the website says only 50% of users, and only after a year of use. I was hoping for it, but had resigned myself to waiting until 2016.

Both this month and last month, I could feel &quot;phantom cramps&quot; (mine are in my back) but no blood. No pain. Just a very tiny ache, like what it used to feel like before I started. I&#039;m very happy with it, because it used to be bad enough to keep me in bed all day. I just hope it lasts."
