Birth Control
"I am 21 years old and have been on Depo-Provera for almost two years while in a four year committed relationship. My doctor recommended Depo-Provera for me because I suffer from chronic migraines so any birth control with a high level of estrogen would most definitely make my migraines worse. So far, I have to say I am pleased with my experience while on the depo shot. The side effects I have experienced have thankfully been able to be fixed/altered. Such as slight weight gain which I help to control with diet and exercise. Loss of sex drive which my longtime boyfriend is more than happy to help with. And I tend to start spotting around the time that my next shot is due. Once I receive the depo shot, within hours the spotting stops."
