Depo Shot

I am on the depo shot and I no longer have a period. No symtoms of my period ever being there. No hair loss, weight gain, mood swings, or any of the side effects that they said 5% of us who take it will get. They put me on it because i was having terrible periods. I would bleed uncontrolably heavy and the pain was worse than child birth. After going to the emergency room for three months in a row with my period thnking i was hemoraging my doctor finaly put me on it. I have been on it now for almost 11 years. I have planned each one of my 3 children. Only took a couple of weeks to conceive. I really love being on this shot. I can`t say i have any bad side effects from it i will stay on it as long as they will let me.
