Bleeding dark then heavy then spotting then heavy. I'm a marathoner and triathlete. I will never take this again!!!! Doctor said 1 SHOT WOULDNT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS...it did. I know my body and this shot is bad news.

A helpful tip, idk if all will do it, but ask if your doctor/gyno can write you a prescription for it and fill it at Walgreen's, mine did for me and I get it for like $12-$14 instead of $60+! | F | 19 | 2 years 4X O | 5/30/2012 | 1 | Easy contraception | Mood swings, headaches, no sex drive at all, gained 24lbs, depression, joint pain, acne, bleeding during sex, bloating, nervousness. | I really really really do not reccommend this as a form of contraception!

Breast tenderness. I was only put on this because I told my mother that my boyfriend had been watching women giving birth online so he couls prepare himself if the worst were to happen. She had previously taken the shot and experienced things alot differently. But as I told her, everyone is different when it comes to taking this drug. Its only been several days since ive had the shot and im already ready to get off of it. The only problem is, my mom wont let me get off of it. Im stuck with this birth control until im 18. Im also gonna say that I started my period the day I got this shot and have been bleeding non stop for about a week now. I dont usually have a heavy period. In fact, I have one of the lightest periods. My boyfriend thinks all of this is funny, which doesnt help my situation. Ive been stuck on the toilet having diareha since 1:00 am, its now 2:35 am. | F | 16 | 1 days | 5/26/2012 | 1 | I didn't want any kids | Me and my boyfriend had decided to have sex and after the 3 time we found out that I was pregnant with twins....I now have 2 kids and I am a junior in highschool!!!!! | F | 16 | 2 years 30 | 5/22/2012 | 4 | birth control | Had no menstrual cycle at all. I gained weight for the first 2 injections. After that my weight wasnt affected. My hair fell out badly. Once I stopped I was still very fertile and became pregnant immediately. I liked the every 3 mos. Refill very convenient. | F | 31 | 8 years | 5/21/2012 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | Havent stopped bleeding since getting it. | F | 30 | 2 months | 5/21/2012 | 1 | For contraception after child no | Weight gain I was pregnant when my dr gave this needle to me and he didn't test me before and I miss carriage six years I have had trouble of no periods and mood swings crying nausea vision problem I now have premenopausal problems and I have had scans for piturity tumor as all my hormones are out I have seen 3 gynos so far and an endo and I'm with an amazing Natral path to get thing right I'm also getting checked for autoimmune diseases as that's what the doctors are thinking but all this can't be reversed if only I had known what this drug was going to do to me x | F | 31 | 1 days 30mg | 5/20/2012 | 5 | Birth control & eliminate period | No more period.
