Birth Control
"Depo shot:
I want to start of by saying that I know birth control affects everyone differently. But I also feel that many girls aren&#039;t truly warned about the side affects. Before receiving the 3 month depo shot I had to sign a form for bone loss. But I did not have to sign a form about all the side effects that plagued me while on this shot, and for months after.
An hour after receiving the depot shot I experienced my first panic attack. Extreme fear, nausea, choking, sweating all out of nowhere. Then it happened again several hours later. I took the shot only once. It&#039;s been six months since I received the shot and I&#039;m now having another panic attack. No one actually tells you that the depot shot remains in your system for up to 18 months.
This doesn&#039;t even come close to the worst of it.
A month after my depo shot I started my period. My period went from July to October NONSTOP. Continual flow, every day, for five months. It finally stopped when I ate a bunch of fresh ground flax seeds (they have estrogen in them, which helps repair uterine lining - depo is progesterone which thins the uterine lining). 
I only received one shot and my life has been affected for six months and counting.
It&#039;s amazing that my relationship survived the depot shot. I had/have an amazing man by my side who knew none of this was my fault and supported me the whole way. But I truly could not have judged him if he left - depo was horrible for our relationship.
Please, please decide if these risks are worth it before you take this shot. You can&#039;t remove it from your body, but you can stop taking the pill if you react negatively."
