Birth Control
"I had my first shot when I was 18, I had heavy bleeding and weight gain for the whole 3 months. My doctor told me that was normal that when I got the second shot it would stop or lighten up. Well I got my second shot and it still wasn&#039;t stopping. So for a total of 6 months I was bleeding heavily. By then end of it I found out I was pregnant and had a miscarriage. I had only been about a month or two along. So just be careful and if you aren&#039;t using anything else but the shot, still pay attention to your body, and take pregnancy tests. Just to make sure. Because I got pregnant a month after I took the second shot."
