Depo

I had to give my imput after reading all the negative.
I`ve been on the shot since march of 02, in the beginning I did spot and it took until at least the 3rd shot for the spotting to clear up all together, and yes it was pain in the butt and it was something that got me moody alright. Lol and i did notice getting moody at times but nothing drastic.
I believe putting anything in your body that it isn`t use to getting, can change a persons moods.
Doctor did mention about weight gain, not 40 to 60 lbs but he said yes to about 10, lol.
I do work out as well and always tried to watch my diet, I don`t recall this shot making me gain weight, I guess if you do have a steady workout program and you watch what you eat you should be fine.
I think the shot has been great for me while I have been on it, if I would have know about it sooner, I prob would have done it sooner, I do not miss my period, and I do not miss cramps, or a swollen chest.
But because there are no true or steady facts of what can happen after you are off it cause ever woman is different, as I notice reading this.
I due plan on having my last shot on DEC 03 and hope I don`t have as bad of a time as some did getting off it.
I`m 31 and in a relationship that is going well and we plan on getting married, I really hope I don`t have to wait two years for a baby.
But I wouldn`t so much knock this shot at all, I was worry free for the last two years.
If your younger and in no way looking to have a baby anytime soon and your active enough and not sitting at home all the time eating in front of t.v. Or eating wrong foods I would def recommend it.
Oh and after i have my children and am done baby making i would def go back on it.
