Birth Control
"I have been on the depo shot for almost 10 months now and it hasn&#039;t been too bad. The only problems I&#039;ve had is severe mood swings, nausea, and headaches daily. I&#039;m a sick person anyways so I&#039;m not sure if I&#039;ve gotten other side effects but I do know those are from the depo. My periods are now pretty much gone. My second shot I had a period for about 2 months but it wasn&#039;t heavy. I plan on getting off of it though after this shot wears off because I have been reading a lot of bad things about the shot. Severe mood swings, depression, anxiety, hair loss, osteoporosis, infertility, etc. I eventually want to get pregnant but you can lose all options if you continue the shot for an extended period of time and I don&#039;t want that to happen."
