Depo-Provera
birth control
"I have read negative reviews about the pill and it made me afraid to try it. Now I've come here and read negative reviews about the shot that I had a pretty good experience with. The pros for me was the shot stopped my period for years and I loved it. I only had to take it every three months. I don't recall having any mood swings. The cons were the weight I gained. I was always at 120 since junior high school. But about six months after being on the shot when I was about 24 years old I picked up a ton of weight.  I went from 120 to 160 in two years of being on it. when I stopped taking the shot, the transition was painful but I lost weight. I want to try the pills to avoid weight gain."
