Birth Control
"I got my first depo provera shot in May of 2015. I bled for two months straight, but I was warned that this would happen. It was annoying in the summer but it wasn&#039;t super heavy and it all stopped one day. Now, I&#039;ve gotten the shot 3 more times (I think) since then and I haven&#039;t bled a drop! I don&#039;t know why everyone says they&#039;ve bled so much. Also, I&#039;m very happy and I&#039;ve lost 10 pounds since before my first shot. This birth control is the best! I&#039;m only in my first year of it, so I hope I&#039;m not speaking too soon, but it has been a blessing. I would also just like to note, however, that I received my first shot while I was on the 1st day of my period. I think this is important, because the doc said so. Good luck!"
