» moibellabeauty - Depo shot? Awful!

I got my first shot well over a year ago and didn't have my period for the first month.
The next month it started and it hasn't stopped since. I asked my doctors if there was any way to make it stop and they said my best bet was to get my next shot & hope it made it stop. Overall I got two shots...which added up to having my period EVERY SINGLE DAY for over a year...and it honestly still hasn't completely stopped! On top of "defeating the purpose" I was dizzy,..and unlike most.. I lost weight...a LOT of weight. I went from weighing 125 to 104 and I looked disgusting.
It causes headaches..I was in and out of the doctor several times for pain in my abdomen..(they still don't know if the depo was the cause) and basically it turned my life upside-down. Yes it's convenient..But I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE because as much as I've read up about it..99 percent of it is horrible. Very few people are satisfied with the results of this. Stick to the pill!
