"I have had the shot only once. I didn&#039;t get my period the first month which is okay with me. I got my period the second month. It wasn&#039;t heavy like normal and only lasted a couple days. However the third month I got my period at the end of the month. My cycle is usually the beginning of the month. I&#039;ve been bleeding light and heavy for the past week or so. I&#039;ve had bad cramps and just been depressed. The shot made me gain a lot of weight the first two months now I&#039;m just dropping weight like crazy. I also noticed dryness during sex. I would get the rod but scared because of the reviews back to the pill"
